Is it normal for these guys to grow upwards? He just keeps moving up and I don’t know what I’ll do once he hits the ceiling! (For reference, I stood on my sofa for this). TIA!

Thanks for the clarification!

Yes, it is normal for Raphidophora to get this tall … not sure what happens when there isn’t anywhere else to grow upwards!

#### Haley ha respondido el 2024-04-12

It may become a Jack and the Beanstalk situation, will keep you updated!

Totally normal! When he gets too tall you can either create a more roundabout path (vs straight up) or you can trim and propagate the cutting for a more lush look.

Great! Thank you for your help Kendall!
