I've had this vine for more than a year and a half. It started off only about 12 inches when my uncle brought it home to me, now its roughly around 48 inches long from root to tip. My uncle said he got it from one of his doctors and she pinched it off a vine that was growing around the office. I remember placing it in dirt once roots sprouted but soon had to place it back in water because it sucked all the nutrients out of the dirt. I want more leaves to grow. What should I do?
