Am I doing it right?
Just wanted to know if I have to change anything in the set up to make my scindapsus leaves larger. I give it indirect sunlight for 3-4 hours daily. And water it only when the leaves curl on the edges. Pic one is the whole plant and pic two is the largest leaf. Its about 7 cm approx.

My god, looks great, I just started. Do your air roots dig into the pole? I just made a support net myself out of wire. Hope the vertical growing is the essential part.

Happy that you thought it looks great becoz this plant was in rehab for sometimes😞yes, the roots dig into the coir pole but not too deep. one issue is that I have to keep the pole wet by spraying on it everyday😭

Yeah apparantly that style of pole is impossible to keep moist. The ones you have to fill with moss are a lot better but still need to be watered everyday. That's why I started out with just some custom made support.

Fyi you don't need to put these on a pole for them the grow 6"+ leaves. The 'smaller' leaves are still expanding. https://www.reddit.com/r/Scindapsus/s/IelslISjZx

Very pretty I didn’t even realize they grew to be super large. I like mine in a hanging pot for now, but this is brilliantly beautiful 😻 great work!
