Young leaves emerge simple and oval before gradually taking on that distinctive three-part form. The foliage is forest green, with a smooth, semi-glossy surface, and individual leaves can reach considerable size on a mature specimen.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Growing_2961efa3-9828-496c-8a2c-fa57f0dd8914_480x480.png?v=1600399365\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Flowering details for 'Joepii' in cultivation are not well documented, but it does produce pollen as part of its reproductive cycle, which may be a consideration for anyone with sensitivities. Like other tropical climbers, it filters formaldehyde and other airborne toxins and actively purifies indoor air. It is sensitive to being moved once settled, so placing it in a stable spot from the start works better than relocating it later.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"lazyloaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Lotus_07a2c657-f263-49f7-9bb9-69b9f3b0f4df_480x480.png?v=1600397267\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Lotus_07a2c657-f263-49f7-9bb9-69b9f3b0f4df_480x480.png?v=1600397267\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Keep 'Joepii' on a high shelf or in a spot that cats, dogs, and small children cannot easily reach. The sap can cause skin and paw irritation on contact, and ingesting any part of the plant is harmful to pets. This rare tropical climber thrives near kitchen moisture and does well under office LED lighting, where humidity tends to be more consistent.

The tri-lobed form develops as the plant matures, and providing a moss pole for it to climb can help larger, more developed leaves emerge sooner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How sensitive is it to being moved around the house?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: 'Joepii' can drop leaves or stall growth after relocation.
