# I've been looking at everyone else's ppps and can't help but notice…

_Posted by Melinda on 2025-03-23_

I've been looking at everyone else's ppps and can't help but notice the difference in what mine looks like compared to the others. Is there something wrong with mine? She seems to be growing... but why do the new leaves look so twisted?

It needs more humidity. But because of the huge amount of genetic manipulation they've had, their cataphylls are just trash. When you see a leaf popping, mist it every day till it's out

Good to know! Thanks!

Mine will twist sometimes if they get too close to the light too

It is really close to the light. I'm running out of places to put my babies!! They sure don't make most plant racks tall enough to house climbing plants!!

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-03-23

They really don't!

I got the ivar system from ikea and made my own plant shelf. I like it bc you can put the shelf in at any height and add as many or as few shelf’s as you want.

### Melinda commented on 2025-03-25

I'm definitely going to check that out!!!!

### Amy commented on 2025-04-09

Mine is like that too! Thanks for asking the question.

My white princess does the same, but with more growth in height, but very little variegation anymore.
