# I need some help with this one please. Her name is Hope, as in I hope…

_Posted by Jonie on 2024-06-05_

I need some help with this one please. Her name is Hope, as in I hope I can keep this plant alive! 😁 she’s a little unruly and kinda sprawls herself all over the place. TBH gives me a little anxiety having her untamed. Any ideas of how to get her to sit like a lady? I tried helping her out but it’s not really working. I need a better plan. Thanks all!

These plants do tend to spread out quite a bit

How close is she to the window? Sometimes, not getting enough light can cause plants to stretch out searching for it

She is in between a window and a sliding glass door. She definitely favors the door and I turn her every week or so.

Maybe try a different setup as far as supports go, it may need something bigger and I think investing in supports that don’t look so unruly will help with your anxiety too. Also investing in grow lights. I don’t have a lot of awesome spaces to put grow light so I just bought bulbs and put them in the overhead ceiling lights and just keep them on during the day
