    Hi Nurahin, normally you will only see the leaf in a pot not a big vine/plant like mine. I have come across it selling at Ikea, a nursery at Garden Mart PJ and Sg Buloh Green Lane

    I notice the stock arrives around end of the year till February, Valentine's day. I found mine by chance. I hope you will find yours as well :-)

    Got one at Ikea couple weeks ago, a leaf in a pot for £2! Too cute not to buy 😊
