Should I go ahead and cut off these pitiful vines? Someone gave me this and it’s only gotten longer with very few leaves sprouting in the 2 years I’ve had it.

Yes and you can either throw them out or propagate them and see if they grow roots

#### Tellie ha respondido el 2024-05-27

Agreed

If you give the plant more sunlight and some kind of pole or trellis to grow on, it will produce more leaves rather than leggy vines :)

This is the place with the most light in my house. It faces the sunrise, I took this photo at night. Should I still move it or cut and start fresh?

#### PlantMum ha respondido el 2024-05-27

That’s okay if you don’t have more light, it will still grow, just not as many leaves. You can still cut it and start fresh if that’s what you’d prefer, or maybe even look into getting a grow light for it if you want more leaves. You can propagate the cuttings by putting the nodes in water

Thank you!

Chop it! And get her some more light ☀️

I would use Keiki Cloning Paste! It will simulate new growth. You can find it on Amazon

Just ordered, thank you! 🫶🏼
