I posted a picture of this plant on Reddit a while back proud of how long its vines had gotten. A jackass Redditor commented and said that the plant was light starved (he had more to say, but I’ll leave that out).
Anyway, is my plant doing OK? Does it need more light? I’m training some of the vines over the curtain rod so that it can get more light from the window.

It’s fine. That’s an understory plant and would die in direct sunlight. They get bleached out and fry in the sun pretty quickly, especially when accustomed to interior conditions. They naturally grow on tree trunks in deep jungles. They grow towards light because that’s how plant hormones work.
Ignore the jackass.
I think it looks lovely. Something I like to do with vining plants is propagate the extra long vines and pot them back into the same pot. It’s a fun way to have more plant babies, more vines, and a fuller looking pot!
Thank you! That’s a good idea. I think I’d need a bigger pot for this guy, but I’d like to try that. Maybe I can prop into another pot.
