I have no idea what to do with her anymore. No matter how much I prune and prop back into the pot, she won’t grow full. Instead she grows like an octopus… I don’t even try anymore. I just water her and roll my eyes. 🙄

So happy to hear this. I have no long term success with any of these inch plants. No matter what I do. So I consider them tenants not permanent. :)

I have never grown this variety. I know it can’t take full sun. So I avoid it.  
I have had the Purple Heart variety for many years. It takes full sun and colder weather than most plants. I leave them outside in pots where they live off of nature in winter and I water in the hottest months.

I think they look the best in greenhouses. It can be really hard to replicate those conditions at home unfortunately. A lot of light but not direct light, heat but not too hot, humid yadda yadda. You get the picture. I hope you find a plant than vibes with you better 🙂
