The same like why you cover your eyes when you are under the sun… because it’s too bright for your eyes… it’s too bright for them as well.

Not what you asked, but that’s a fun disco planter!

Did a housemate turn it around and not tell you? It’s a good idea to rotate indoor plants to even them out

Looks like it’s turning the leaves toward the light, but the vines are going away?

Plants need sunlight.. Otherwise it will grow long stems. See if you can move it to a window with morning sun.

What direction does your window face?

That’s not a Hoya noona by any chance? I have one in an outdoor hanging pot that’s super happy but is doing the exact same thing. Since it’s a climbing plant I think mine is just growing towards something it thinks it could climb (vs.growing towards the sky where there’s nothing to grab) 🤷♂️

This happened to me when I moved into my new place. Completely different plant, but reaching away from the window… turns out the windows were super expensive and filtering out most of the uv rays, and it was growing towards the light in the room

Maybe it’s trying to reach the electric indoor light…

I believe it is because in nature, any thing they can attach to is away from the light source (going towards the light source would send the vines to the sky, where there is nothing to grab).
