I posted a picture of this plant on Reddit a while back proud of how long its vines had gotten. A jackass Redditor commented and said that the plant was light starved (he had more to say, but I’ll leave that out).
Anyway, is my plant doing OK? Does it need more light? I’m training some of the vines over the curtain rod so that it can get more light from the window.
Gotcha. So it’s probably oerfectly happy where it is. Thanks!
Yep. If you want more leaves and greener growth, a pinch (like 1/2 tsp) of mild fertilizer, like a 5-4-5 organic or similar, could be added occasionally. (every couple months during the warmer part of the year) Ideally, dissolved in a few cups of water. In natural conditions, this would mimic an animal/insects dying nearby or a bird shitting near the root zone. Without a source of nitrogen from time to time the plant will steal from older leaves (yellowing them until they fall off) to fund nutrient requirements of new growth.
Gotcha, OK. Will try that. I have some fertilizer sticks, would that work?
