    I give mine good bright light and only water when all the soil is completely dry! Same thing with any string of - anything! They’ll tell you when they need water

    Mine gets a good amount of both direct and indirect. They will turn more pink with brighter light too, from sun stressing.

    Mine is about to turn 1 year old (from when I got it). It was shorter than yours and I just measured it to 5 ft long. I never repotted it and it hung in a window that gets sun and shade. Seems to thrive there for me. And I second, only water when it’s totally dry. You’ll also see the leaves kinda sag a bit when it’s time.

      Sounds good! Will the leaves appear a little shriveled when it time to water? And do I wait till all leaves are like this, or just some.

      Just some leaves. I find that Planta seems to be pretty accurate with watering schedule. Just make sure it’s dry. But if you see shriveled leaves then go ahead and water it early.

      I have some leaves that are stiff (near the base of plant) and some that are soft/slightly foldable (near the end of vines). Do you think this means it’s time to water? Since the plant is brand new I didn’t know when it was last watered :/

      Check the soil first. Make sure it’s super dry. You linked your plant profile and it recommends watering in a couple days so it’s probably safe to water IF soil is dry.
