I found the Manjula! But… there’s the manjula and the manjula compacta. Any opinions on which I should choose?

If the only difference is fullness vs trailing, I’m inclined to go with the compacta 😬

that is indeed the only difference. manjula compacta is much fuller and grows more bushy, while manjula is an entirely vining plant

Manjula compacta is more common, i'd pick that for now. if new growth looks like a typical vine then i'd say it might be a standard manjula, but i'm inclined to say compacta based on the way it looks now

Thank you so much!!! I can’t believe I found it locally ❤️

Congrats on your manjula! They’re stunning esp in brighter light!

Under a grow light now 😁

Nice! That’ll def give her some nice white variegation! I put mine under a grow light in winter so she can keep her lovely colours! She’s def my fave of all my pothos
