This is one of our oldest plants, we’ve had it for around 5 years. Does anyone know what these little holes are under the leaves? We don’t want to lose it! Also any general advice is welcome. It’s hard to see in this picture but there are aerial roots coming from the big bend in the plant on the right. I love my plants but I’m not the best caretaker and I know I have plenty of room for improvement. I love that this forum is here and I look forward to making the most of it! 💜

The spots just looks like old wounds. How much sun does it get? It looks a bit thin and etiolated. But there’s nothing wrong with it. Compared to the older photos of it it seems to be getting better.

That’s certainly reassuring to hear! We moved to a new apartment not too long ago and I finally used the light tool to determine the sun levels in each room. I just moved this guy to a sunnier spot, hopefully he’s happier there!

Perf! Place it in your sunniest window and it’ll be just fine.

Thank you for your insight!
