Help... where can I find info on caring for this plant. It's beautiful when its healthy but I recently moved into a new home and even though I have large windows and have tried to place my plants in the proper lighting they seem to have started becoming spindly. This is a vine of sorts that has leaves about 2" long. The leaves are deep green on top and dark purple underneath when mature. It is a very tender plant, breaking easily. It will propagate from stem cuttings. I would like to find more info on this plant, where might I look??

Here is a brief discussion of care for your moses-in-the-cradle. Are you fertilizing or watering more than they suggest? If not and the plant is getting plenty of light, maybe you should trim it to try to stimulate bushier growth.

Terry,
Thankyou, I think I found the problem... It wasn't the moving that has caused the problem. It's the new pot I put it in. No Drain holes.... :-( Any way-- off to repot! Thanks again... pcgrav

No drain holes. That would do it. [thumb]
