Use the first month to confirm identity and map each vine, node, aerial-root nub and existing leaf mark. Learn wet and drying container weight before changing irrigation. A folded new leaf beside a free stipule may open normally, while softness across basal nodes is a different signal. Choose whether the plant will trail or climb before pruning healthy growth.

In confirm the plant, compare internode length, node firmness, leaf size, support contact and distribution among vines. A crisp patch, wet-pot yellowing and fine pest stippling describe separate pathways. Preserve this evidence, choose one correction, and evaluate the next leaf on the same vine.
