I had the same troubles with mine, but I think it was because my house was too cold. I’ve noticed that mine likes to have its soil very slightly damp majority of the time, so I’d say it’s slightly pickier than a pothos. Not sure how it is for others though!

Haha, I have a love/hate relationship with the adansonii 😂. I have 💀 the same one 3 times. It comes back, then crooks after 3 or 4 leaves. 🤷‍♀️

Here’s my play book and proof. 😅  
Chunky soil mix. Self watering pot. I always keep fertilizer in the water. She’s near a humidifier but my room is usually between 50-60 humidity. Grow light facing her. It used to be above her but now I want all her leaves facing out towards me.  
I don’t know what size yours is but before she got to be a monster lol, I had her climbing (tied up) to coco coir poles). She was maybe 10 leaves when I got her November…. She is CONSISTENTLY growing a new leaf/leaves.. This picture was from a few weeks ago and she is even bigger now. Now that she’s a beast I have her climbing up a trellis. ☺️

I did!!! I can’t believe it either! Here she is currently. I don’t know what I’ll do when she reaches the top of her trellis. 😂
