Maidenhair Vines are popular houseplants with tiny, evergreen foliage.
Fluff them, let them climb, train them into a topiary or simply let them trail off a shelf. These ultra-versatile plants may look dainty, but they're actually super hardy... Maidenhairs are happy in sunshine or in shade.
Muehlenbeckia is also a great living mulch for larger pot plants, where they'll fill the base of the tree with a green mat, reducing the rate of water loss.
Great beginner plant, but also exceptionally rewarding for the more seasoned plant enthusiast.
Please note: Muelenbeckia are not known to be toxic.
