*This plant is hanging over my kitchen sink in a west-facing window.*
This is a very dainty plant (hence the four stars). When I received it, after its trip through the mail, the plant was pretty rough. When I inspected the plant, its roots were very shallow. I had a hard time finding the plant's happy place in my house.
Within the first two months, I lost 95% of the plant and ended up in a surgical-like procedure placing the very last of the tips into soil with chopsticks. Over the next hour, I placed about thirty nodes with two or four leaves each in a 8" pot. That was in December 2020.
Fast-forward about four months to April 2021 and I have beautiful, green, velvety tendrils reaching for the sun.
Knowing what I know now- I would have NEVER purchased this plant through the mail. I also wouldn't have purchased such a big plant. Purchasing a smaller plant and chopping-and-propping should have been the way to go for me.
Another reason this plant has four stars is that I can never repot it. Ever. If you touch the dainty stems, they break. Hang it high and keep it away from everything!
