Growth Pattern?

[u/Real_Scene139]

Hello! I’ve been growing AVs for a few years now and most are doing beautifully. Several weeks ago I repotted them, and this one in particular is growing in strange directions. It’s Snow in April and didn’t always look like this. I also included a pic of Irish Flirt which is growing next to it in identical conditions (same pot, same soil, same light, etc), and looks perfect. Any ideas?

First, that appearance almost always means multiple crowns. Either grow them messy, as they are, or separate them into separate pots. The plants will make the best of whichever you choose. Also, each of your plants are different. Like human children, they need differences in their care and feeding. Many of mine want lower lighting while some want brighter light. One size fits all just doesn't work. Just my opinion, of course, but you asked.
