i dont think humidity will be a problem, it stays about 90% but i still think the light might be too bright. i have a 4' 4 bulb about 12 inches away so shade it is , thank you!

@maiden: i wouldn't consider it a beast its only about 12 inches total, including the pot, and the spacing between nodes is like an inch

??

This was just a nickname i give to your plant, regardless of the size.
Thanks for the picture. If this little plant outgrow your setup, i think you should upgrade your tiny terra/setup! LoL

Well, now I have this problem too! Vine plants can be annoying sometimes if they grow quickly.
