It is hung under a tree in the summer, on the porch during the winter . Watered with a submersable pump . It has lost leaves from falling .
I am going to leave it alone,and try to add an extra hanger , it has 2 now .... thanks all..

I got it... hang it from an engine hoist. OK, maybe not.

ROTFL!!

*sigh* Oh to be able to grow things outside....wishful thinking. We're just getting out of winter finally. The weatherman confirmed today.....5 straight months of winter & snow - over 144 days. Ugh. Can't wait for spring!!!

Engine hoist ( laughing ) good one,with a decorative chain ?
Seed pods happen every year it is a self .
I can't grow outside either except for in the spring and summer .
Brenda they like high light some say hang them high and fry em .
Mine gets sun part of the day , bright the rest when outside in the spring and summer , In the green house it only gets medium light during the winter . Gin

Which is the open end and which is the end with the drain hole? If you do not mind damaging the plant you may want to insert a heavy gauge wire into the drain hole and run through a piece of pipe that is larger than the drain hole. Maybe use PVC pipe? Would give you a few extra plants for trade before it overgrows the tear.
