Water when the soil is dry. You can do a taco test where you fold the heart and if it folds easily it needs water! 💚 ### Chrissa comentó el 2025-03-15 Also lots of light! Make sure the light hits it on the top of the plant! #### Lyn respondió el 2025-03-15 Oh thank you for that I’ll definitely do that! I appreciate it so much!!! ### PlantLady comentó el 2025-03-15 They like being root bound. I left mine in a two inch pot for over a year and the strings grew more than 8 ft. I only recently repotted it into a 3 inch pot and it’s starting to flower now. It’s been a very low maintenance plant for me. #### Lyn respondió el 2025-03-15 Oh that’s perfect thank you!! ### KJM comentó el 2025-03-15 4 to 6 hours of bright indirect light, well draining soil, water when soil is mostly dry once or twice a week in the summer less in fall and winter, feed twice in the growing season and nothing in fall and winter, high humidity #### Lyn respondió el 2025-03-15 Oh thanks so much!! ### Bay Area Plant Mom comentó el 2025-03-15 mine sits in a southeast facing bay window in zone 9 (direct light till about 2pm during summer) and she’s all pink due to sun stress 💕 #### Lyn respondió el 2025-03-15 Aww that’s gotta be so gorgeous! Thank you ima have to try that!! ### Wolfen 🐺 comentó el 2025-03-15 Mines in a west window, about 6hrs direct light and the rest indirect. I water every 4-5 days, but she's currently in moss. So soil would provide be every 7-10 #### Lyn respondió el 2025-03-15 Oh ok that’s great thank you! --- _La comunidad de Planta (https://getplanta.com). La lectura está abierta a todo el mundo.
