# Here I thought this dang polkadot plant hated my guts. I’m constantly…

Here I thought this dang polkadot plant hated my guts. I’m constantly pruning her because she’s always trying to get leggy on me. She’s a dramatic hot mess express.

Unfortunately I have to pick her beautiful little blooms off. 🥲

I’m always pruning mine too. Im starting to think they like being leggy!!! Even when I brought her to my SW to give her more light she was a bit less leggy but then got bleached out from too much sun. I just donno with these gals! There flowers are just so delicate aren’t they? Mine didn’t last too long but pretty while they lasted!

I’m picking all the flowers off to hopefully make her last longer, but it makes me so sad!

Once it flowers the plant ‘is no more’ so to speak?

Lots of indirect sunlight and lots of humidity!

#### Peaceful Place antwoordde op 2024-07-12

Awesome! That works great because I have her in my bathroom window and indirect light come through the window. I’m testing this spot out to see how she responds.

Good luck! They’re very dramatic plants lol
