What’s happening to these stems? #GregGang

They have been resting on the terracotta pot for a while but the leaves don’t really show signs of distress as far as I can tell. The small leaves have always been white, idk if that’s a good or a bad thing. It seems to still be doing alright other than those two leaves but clearly I don’t know. Ugh about this little guy. It sits near a south facing window about a foot away from it. Any tips? #Anthurium #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

@SBeezy my observation is that they are resting on the terracotta which is known to absorb and expel the moisture from the soil. So either it is resting on the moisture and not liking that, or my main guess, is that maybe the terracotta is taking moisture from the stems and weakening them.

The pot is too big for the plant. This is a vine. It doesn’t need a large pot.

My baby is in a small cup and it’ll lose a few straps here and there but it’s normal. I see you have gnats? Blue trap in the pot? Too much moisture. Please stop watering from the top. Only water from the bottom. They don’t like top watering unless it’s a bath.
