I have no idea what plant this is. It was a cutting I was given a few months ago. It’s grown quite a bit now and it’s totally leaning. I don’t know if that’s normal for this plant or not.

And it’s a trailing plant so that’s more than normal.☺️

I think it needs more light.

#### JR replied on 2026-05-04

It’s under grow lights for 12 hours a day.

Ok, that’s gonna e but this time of year I have it on 16 hours a day. We’re getting  
More than 12 hours of daylight now. Your plant should get as any lights as we day day light hours.

Also know as smoke plant or gunpowder plant because it will release clouds of pollen.
