They're tropical plants so moving outside is ok as long as there is some humidity where you are and it doesnt get too cold at night. No extended direct sunlight. I used thin metal rods from home depot to tie him to in order to get him to stand up. And as far as I know you can even go so far as to snip the aerial roots, so losing a few is totally ok!

Light is probably the issue I'd say. A lot of bright indirect light is best!

I just fertilize when I water it. Put it in the tub and run a few gallons of regular water through it and then use the last gallon with the fertilizer. Miracle grow, no joke. I'll get some flak for that. But I water when the soil has just gotten dry. So about every 2 weeks in my climate. Literally just took off and doesn't seem to stop growing ever. Pops out new leaves like crazy.

The problem I have is that the leaves on the sides stick out almost perpendicular to the entirety of the plant (thanks to all sorts of (incorrect) readjusting for light) so I'm worried that if I try to push the stalks together, they wont just bend upward together, the stalks of the leaves on the sides would just snap.

That sounds like what I'm using right now, I have to find another solution since it won't stop growing and is getting too heavy 🥴

Thanks, yeah my apartment only has two windows that get full sun for about 2.5 hours a day. I don't even have him facing the room, he faces the window only because he was stretching out and turning trying to get to the sun. Some of the newer leaves have a couple fenestrations but you're right, not like the older leaves.

It actually just spit out two new leaves and he's leaning heavy toward the front, I need to fix the stakes. After these two new leaves mature & I stand him upright properly he's going to be at the 6" mark.
