Mealybugs:

Mealybugs will form white, cottony patches at the joints where leaves are attached to stems and secrete honeydew which provides an ideal location for the spores of the fungal disease to settle upon.

As they grow in a light, this can cause the leave to scorch and turn yellow. So indirect light is good for the health of this plant. Trail vines are super fast growing if you keep in indirect sunlight
