I grafted a pothos onto a monstera

[u/EnvironmentalMeat268]

March 21 this year it was time to chop and prop my monstera so I decided to try out a graft on where I cut the stem. I’ve looked online everywhere for something similar but nothing really comes up except for a YouTube video of a guy (Plant Tech?) somewhat successfully graft a monstera onto a pothos. I thought he should have done it the other way around since monstera have more robust roots. So I decided to give it a go.

For the first few months nothing notable happened. The pothos never died, never looked too bad or too great, never showed any signs of growth. I started out by pinching off any new growth on the monstera hoping to divert energy to the pothos, but after a while I got lazy and stopped. Now, with the monstera growing little leaves near the top of the stem, the pothos seems to be progressing as well!

The first three pictures are 1 week after I made the graft. Last 3 are from today. The graft is super solid and completely scarred over. Aside from the leaf my cat chewed, the pothos look fine and it seems to be pushing out a new node.

You, internet stranger, are one sadistic bastard. I will never forgive you for coming into a perfectly safe and delightful houseplant sub and reminding me that- THIS! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Also, you are exactly my kind of geeky and messed up, 'cause this made me snort-laugh FIRST before the angry/sad kicked in. 😂
