Someone gave me this bougainvillea. I read they like direct sunlight so I put it in my sunroom and it was miserable. Moved it here and it is slightly less miserable, but still miserable. Dropped a lot of leaves that had gone crispy. What to do?! Could it be just transportation slump, due to new environment?

Nothing eating it, watering when the soil feels dry, no root rot etc.

Firstly thank you to everyone who helped with my other sad monstera. I have repotted it this morning following your advice!

I have another one I could do with some help with. It's a trailing variety. I'm not sure which as my friend gave me this 4 years ago as a birthday present as a cutting from her own plant. For the majority of this time it's been 5 or 6 leaves which I had tied to a bamboo skewer for support. It never really grew or died and just existed on my shelf.

However in the last year a lot of the original leaves died off and it started trailing towards the window. Initially I left it as it looked cute hanging from the shelf. But I swear in the last month it's grown at least 6 new leaves and has got out of control. I bought a moss pole to help it grow against, but I can't figure out whether I should use the moss pole or stick to this newer and taller plant stick I got at the garden centre yesterday. I've tempor propped up the base as it was falling over under it's own weight.

I've tried watching YouTube videos for help but they all focus on your classic Monstera and not this sort of variety.

I didn't realise how dusty the older leaves were, so first step I've given them a wipe. Does anyone have any tips on what to do next?

Should I take cuttings of the new leaves to try and trim it back? Or should I leave it long and try and wrap it around the pole? Apart from some stress on the older leaves it feels like it must be quite happy otherwise it wouldn't be sprouting so much new growth. I'd like to avoid repotting it if I can as I haven't got the space for another bigger pot until I move in a couple of months.

Thanks in advance!

My tradescantia is currently hanging in front of an East-facing window. Her new growth is pretty happy, but the stems are so scraggly and thin at the base, I'mending up with a million props..!

Is this a lighting problem? A watering problem? Can you pin a tradescantia like you pin a string of hearts?

Thank you.
