Fact Sheet and Plant Guide

Scientific Name:	*Elatostema repens, Pellionia repens*
Description:	Elatostema repens is commonly known as Trailing Watermelon Begonia, Wavy Watermelon Begonia, Satin Creeper, Rainbow Vine, Sisek Naga. It is a small herbaceous creeper, spreading or trailing up to 60cm. Its semi-fleshy stems are slightly zigzag, greenish brown colour, rooting at nodes upon contact with ground. Often grown for its attractive foliage, as a hanging basket, terrarium and green wall. It grows best in a humid environment with consistently moist but well-drained soils.
Pot dimension:	Ø15.0cm x H11.0cm
Overall Plant Height:	30-40cm (approx.) Cascading downward - Included grower pot
Light:	Bright direct sunlight or filtered light.
Water:	Check and water as needed. Only water when the soil turns slightly dry to touch.
Fertilizer:	Fertilize with diluted liquid fertilizer at least once a month to encourage growth.
Trimming:	Gently trim away dry, brown, or yellowish leaves by using a pair of secateurs. Trimming allows available nutrients in the soil to be transferred into the new leaves which encourage intentional growth.
