Why So Leggy

#Zebrina
Hi guys,
Pinky seems to be growing straight up and very leggy. I have her under grow lights, but I'm not sure what the deal is. My grow lights come in three different colors. Maybe I have the wrong color? They are red, blue, or white. I have her under white, full spectrum. Please help.

Mine do great with indirect a few hours a day… remember this breed used to be hanging plants in the 60’s/70’s with black lights everywhere hahaha

@jlgoinggreen When they grow long enough they will start to hang. You can always cut it halfway through down the stem pull off the bottom leaves and put right into the top of the pot to make the pot fuller. They root fast. Then as they grow like I said they will start to lay down and hang over the pot.

@Lynsplants I love that this is a 60-70's black light plant!! Nostalgia! ✨😁 I bet their glittery leaves really shine under a black light!!
