# hiii, so my algerian ivy is doing amazing, my only problem is it’s…

_Posted by kitkat! on 2023-08-23_

hiii, so my algerian ivy is doing amazing, my only problem is it’s getting really long and kinda leggy. i was wondering if there’s anything i need to do to maybe fix that? or what i can do with the longer stems? am i supposed to prune it or propagate it or hang the vines up? because one of them has hit the floor and another is growing straight at my wall 🫣 i’m sorry if this seems muddled or if you can’t make out the pictures but i’d love some advice if anyone has any, thank you \<3

Plants get leggy when they are reach for something like more light, water or nutrients. Your plant has no dry, or yellow leaves to indicate lack of water. It looks a healthy green color. Probably sufficient nutrients and fertilizer. So, insufficient lighting would be my guess. The leaves are large, maybe to catch more sun? The pothos is also very leggy and reaching hard for the window. Try adding a grow light. You may want to clip the long leggy vines and propagate back into the pot to build fullness.
