# I’ve had this baby for over a year now and is literally my favorite…

_Pubblicato da Ray il 2024-02-01_

I’ve had this baby for over a year now and is literally my favorite plant. I’ve never had to use a drainage pot for this plant, never had root rot, never had gnat or bug issues and she sprouts literally daily! I want to get her to crawl up the walls eventually. One of my favorite things about her, is how the leaves glisten/shine 😍😍

these are crawlers by nature so they may not climb up a wall per se but they will keep growing out and down. enjoy!

That sucks maybe I can hang it over some tacs on a wall ? And it will grow upwards ?

Beautiful! Mine always got bald at the base. How do you keep it looking bushy in the pot?

#### Ray ha risposto il 2024-02-01

Honestly. I just let it do its thing. I don’t have to maintenance it as much as my other plants. It’s a carefree plant, speaking from my own experience. I water it and make sure I keep any dead leaves off and that’s it.
