Messy Hair (Don't Care) Maidenhair Vine

This app is definitely not πŸ’― accurate

Says this plant needs to be in direct light

I most definitely did not have her as it instructed and she still looks toasted

I re-potted her to see if she comes back

πŸ˜žπŸ™πŸΌ

Any suggestions

I know it’s not accurate lol
IMO, most plants can tolerate direct light. It's about finding the balance of things, just like in aquascaping.

Take bird of paradise for example. Most people won't keep them in direct light coz they'll get burnt. But once adjusted a mature monstera can tolerate afternoon sun even full sun. They're supposed to be a full sun plant back in their home in South Africa [where they can grow to 7-8m and spread 3.5m].

Of course, with more light comes with more care. You need more water, and generally better humidity [direct sunβ€”>more transpirationβ€”>requires more water. Less humidityβ€”>less transpirationβ€”>requires less water].

Being such a dainty plant maidenhair vine would require abit more TLC in direct light. If you want [or if it's more practical] indirect can work just fine.
@Araceae thank you

I did move her to a shadier spot but can still get enough sun

Let's see what happens πŸ™πŸΌβ˜ΊοΈ
@SisterWaterlily most definitely 😁
@SisterWaterlily @Araceae well she definitely didn't make it

I will try again when I do more research on this type of plant
