I’ve had this heart leaf (I think it has mixed varieties) for a little while and it’s always had small leaves…any ideas of what might be the problem? I would love to see some large leaves on it😆 It has a decent sized pot and I fertilize regularly.

Not sure the light situation, but you could try moving it to brighter light?

It looks excellent where it is though!!

When plants trail, leaves get smaller unless the light is much stronger. At best, they’ll maintain size. The only way I know to make leaves size up is to stake them up.

Clipping leggy vines and propagating helps as well
