    Yes they will get very tall if you want it to get full then take cuttings and root them and pot them up In the adults pot

    Thanks you guys! I have her on an orchid stick to keep her upright but still wobbly. I'll do cuttings more to get them fuller and moss pole 😊😊😊

    I’ve grown several plants in a wide hanging basket for many years without giving them a pole to climb. The leaf stem gets long like yours when reaching for more light. My photos show a one year growth progress of the 18 inch wide pot of syngoniums. They get early morning and late afternoon direct sunlight. 🪴🍀

      Sunny, she's been under grow light since propagation 😬 that's why I'm wondering if that's how they grow? Couldn't be the light, she's under 14 hrs? Beautiful beautiful plant btw.

      It still could be the light. My grow lights are weaker than I expected. My plants didn’t die, but, they didn’t flourish either under my grow lights. I had to buy a light meter to find out the amount of light actually reaching my plants. I realized my lights were barely effective if the plant was 8 inches or more away from the light. So, I keep most of my 200+ plants outside. Even under a covered patio on the northeast side of my house they get much better light. I’m guessing yours are craving light. So, growth pattern and cupped leaves indicate to me they are trying to get to more light. Again, it’s just a guess.
