It’s reaching for more light!

Thank you so much! Can it be in full sun for more than 8 hours? I want to make sure I place it in the right area.

#### Anya replied on 2023-05-23

Yes I think it would do fine with that much sun. If you see any signs of sun damage, give it more shade though. (I think that would be unlikely)

You can actually cut off the stem under the leaves and plant that into the soil if you want!

Yea, probably reaching for more light. It also may be in too small of a pot.
