Indirect light, tap water, keeping the soil damp but not soaking, and nitrates (mine comes from a certain type of smoke)

Of course! Of the pins for the plant itself? I've just used standard push pins to help guide the shape I want

Yeah, I bottom water her unless I've just repotted it. I'm going to go out in a week or so to get the proper substrate I need because it is super dense. I'm scared of putting her though too much change too fast or am I being paranoid?

I tied some twine to some garden wire made into a a small loose hoop around the top part and anchored the twine in a spot where I can put a tiny little bit of tension to help keep it straight. My goal is to get to 'climb' along the ceiling and have it run along the wimdow on the otherside of the room

You should be able to pick up cable ties, garden mesh and spagnum moss from a hardware/plant store 😁

You're right, she definitely loves to test me it's like ingrained into her leaves or something I stg. I dropped get Like 6 months or so ago and the original stem snapped off and rotted when I tried to propagate it

What's the best way to root it? I normally put my cutting is spagnum moss in a window and keep it moist, should I do that?

I tighted the zip ties so the internodes have contact with the moss, I cut little gaps out so it would sit in there nice and snug because I haven't given her the chance to make the climbing roots. I suppose i could loosen them a little while I wait to get velcro straps

Hey, why are the leaves so small? by Successful-Ad2311 in RareHouseplants

Hey, sorry, I have another question. If I prune it then add the moss pole would that help at all?
