- Leaves: The leaves are glossy dark green and turn red in the autumn, providing a high decorative effect.
- Roots: It can easily attach to walls or structures and grow using aerial roots.

Propagation Methods

Uses in the Garden
- Ornamental: It is used to decorate walls, fences, and the exteriors of buildings, providing a natural green barrier effect.
- Shading: It offers a shading effect by blocking sunlight during the summer and also helps lower the outside temperature.

Important Pests and Control Methods
