# Hey! I’m new to this app so thank you all for having me, I’ve had…

_Posted by Isabella on 2025-02-06_

Hey! I’m new to this app so thank you all for having me,  
I’ve had this Albo for over a year now since buying from fb marketplace. It came as just the cutting of the large leaf and since growing I repotted it. The growth has become really leggy and the leaves have been getting smaller and smaller  
I really wanted this to produce large leaves like the one that came from the sellers plant however as things got in the way I’ve not had time to pay attention to caring for it.

I was thinking of repotting into a smaller pot with fresh soil , and cutting off the top bit of growth to give it a fresh start to produce healthier leaves.  
Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.  
Should I just propagate and start all over?

I’m concerned about the lack of sunlight.

I agree with the previous comment; it looks like it’s not getting enough light.
