  • Your plant looks great. Don’t let that redditor bother you. The vines are beautiful but they will grow bigger if you give it something to climb on like the curtain rod you mentioned. I think that guy was saying your plant was light deprived because of the leaves being smaller than the older ones. It’s normal and not all plants have to look picture perfect. Your plant is healthy and looks great. To be honest I am jealous that I don’t have such a lush and healthy plant.




















  • The pink color is because the plant gets sun stressed. If you’ve tried putting it out in full sun and if it still hasn’t helped then I would recommend using an LED light in the 5000K range (daylight), 1500-2000 lumens and upto 30 watts should help. LED/ Grow lights are what people in the plant world use to sun stress their plants consistently and it gives better results than putting it out as the sun is not harsh all day long. LED lights with these specifications should work for houseplants and you need not buy expensive grow lights. Make sure the plant gets used to the bright light slowly as direct exposure can cause sun burn. Good luck


  • It has two components that bring the bright red color. One of them is Gochujang- a fermented chilli paste which is not at all spicy but has a strong umami flavour. The second one is gochugaru- red chilli flakes which are pretty spicy. If you’re trying to make Kimchi you can totally skip it.

    If you get to try Kimchi at a restaurant it’s probably not too spicy and mellow.
