Just a couple questions.

I took aria down today because she had a lot of browning, which has been going on for a while. This is what I found. Do you think she is a goner? Al's my beautiful India is growing a long stem but no newl leave. Why and what should I do for her. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth #raphidophoradecursiva #dragontailplant #climbingplants #jodisplace

Hi! For Aria I would try one (or both): take some cuttings and start some new babies, and try getting more light to the top of the pot. Think of it like the light needs to look into the pot and see the dirt. I think sheโ€™s definitely savable!

On India, my guess is also not enough light but I donโ€™t feel as confident on that one. ๐ŸŒฑโ˜€๏ธโค๏ธ
Thank you @RealSimpleMama I was thinking lighting as well even though they both under grow light. Poor Aria. She was such a pretty girl. Started out in a 3 inch pot grew into a 6inch. I did take some cutting as you suggested. I also cleaned her up a bit and took some length off.
Oooh but see I think she still looks good! And a lot of that beautiful bright green growth on her is promising. โค๏ธ
This is my Decursiva. I had the same problem so I just kept chopping and propping. Also staked it to train it to grow upwards. *appreciates lots of bright indirect light! @Stall54Jo
Oh my @KatVinogradova what a beauty. Do I just cut back to the first leaf and pro in water? Can I cut it in pieces and have more than one. Suggestion greatly appreciated.
I would make a cut after any node of your choosing!

Technically? Yes you can cut it into several pieces. I prefer them a bit longer because I like to water prop but you can also place them in sphagnum moss.

Pics are of the cuts Iโ€™ve made and the new growth comes back so much thicker!!
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ It becomes top heavy which is one of the reasons I have chosen to stake it. @Stall54Jo
Great thank you so much for the tutorial. I greatly appreciate @KatVinogradova
