| Please advise me how to look after my two young P. vitifolia seedlings.
They are about 6 weeks old and are inside on a window ledge getting sun in the late afternoons. The climate is warm here, currently 70 F at night and about 90-95 F in the day. They are about 10cm high but don't seem to be growing anymore. They are in a good compost of half organic and half sandy soil mix. Thanks Darren |

| Try adding some Super Thrive in their water and see if that helps them grow a bit faster. They might also like a bit more sun. ~Tiger |

| ya they can take more sun- introduce them slowly, just like any other seedling. How big's the pot they're in? I usually use a styrofoam "coffee cup" or somesuch untill they're about 12" tall, then transplant to a big pot & let 'em go. Often they'll appear to 'pause' for a bit, then jump. But just like heating water... The more you watch, the longer they'll pause. |

| Thanks for the advice. Sorry about the repeat possting, I had forgotten I had sent this one here. They are in plastic 1 pint pots. I now have them outside under filtered sunlight and they look a little better. I have fed them too. Do you think they should be planted in full sun when older? Darren |

| MOst of these guys *want* full sun- Climbing atop everything else and suffocating it if not watched. I would introduce them to it now.. |
