My satin is putting out some pretty wimpy leaves :( any tips? Was thinking of giving her a nice chop!

Could be a sign of being root bound. I’d check the roots. Wait a day after watering and then you should be able to gently lift it out as one unit.

Cut off the leaves that are unhealthy I wouldn't cut the vine just remove the leave and stem. A new one will grow.

The leaves that have been removed will regrow? I’m having the same issue with my satin but I was under the impression that the leaves won’t regrow in the same spots so I’ve been hesitating removing them so that I can cut and propagate the vine.

yeah new leaves won’t grow from the same place if you’re just removing leaves. cut the vines and it will start new leaves and a new arm right next to the cut

I would give her a chop, she’ll appreciate it, and get it more light. Definitely cut the vines.

It could be root bound, but these don’t really mind that. small leaves with long internodal spacing indicates not enough light

Chop and more sun light
