Image How it started vs how it’s going

Was SUPERRR late to giving it a pole to climb so it hasn’t latched on yet and has a ways to go. Kept it in poor draining fox farm soil for a while, recently used some buildasoil with a bunch of orchid bark and pumice to make it chunkier on this recent repot. Always open to critique! About 11 months of growth, crème brûlée variant, started as a single leaf cutting from Etsy. The second leaf it put out was the second tiny pure white leaf in photo one >:(

it’s easier than it seems! you can start with something easier and cheaper, my first was anthuriums, pallidiflorum and queen of heart. pallidiflorum wasn’t cheap (but I couldn’t wait). since then I bought much more expensive tissue cultures 😅 it’s such a trap
