light. see the little leaves with no splits that are coming out of everywhere?
in the wild or in a healthy houseplant, these would be the lowest, inner level of leaves at the core and bottom of the plant.
the upper leaves with holes and splits allow light to filter through the plant to the solid leaves below. in a healthy plant, these big leaves would make up the plant’s canopy.
the plant pictured here is desperately shooting out those lower leaves all over to try and find a better light source. lack of light is also why it’s “leggy” and not leafy.
