# Here is my Dragon’s Tail. She is growing a really long stem but why…

Here is my Dragon’s Tail. She is growing a really long stem but why isn’t she growing any new leaves except here at the very end? I think I overwatered her at first but not now. She also doesn’t want to climb up. She likes growing sideways. Does she need a bigger pot?

Not sure maybe a moss pole, is it a climbing plant?

It probably needs more light. I have two growing several months in 4 inch pots. They are in bright indirect light.
