    Funnily enough, it’s my least troublesome plant.

    I got it as a impulse purchase. But the novelty only lasted a few weeks, so I pretty much dismissed it and put it in the bathroom to get more space for plants I liked better. But it endured for a entire year, thanklessly and without a single complaint. No pests, no fertilizer issues, no water problems, no rot or anything. And then it put put it’s first flowers aswell.

    This one really clawed it’s way back into my heart and I consider one of my favorite plants by now. It really earned it.

    It’s currently in my bathroom, which is clean but still not very sighty. And I’m currently trying to kinda trellis it as it has become quite unwieldy and I can’t really move it much without risking it.

    But I’m planning to relocate it after pruning next spring. As soon as the leaves have grown back, there will definitely be pictures! :D

    I had something similar with my monstera.

    Personally, I aim for the biggest leaves I can. So I air-layered it at the newest node, and when I was sure it had enough roots (so it wouldn’t get shocked), I replanted it with a plank.

    I really underestimated how much roots the plant needed, but it has since caught on, is throwing out nice new leaves and is climbing well.

    I also made a few single node cuttings that I will probably have to give away at some point.
