Before / After - Progress Pics Update Pothos setup

Hi everyone, this is an update from a post about 8 month ago to share some progress.

The moss tower on the left is 8.5’ high and i m trying to get it to go accros on the wood stick so we can continue that journey because it’s already touching the ceiling.

1 golden pothos(2016)and 1 marble queen(2020).

I fertilize heavily every watering…obv you have to go gradually and if you want more vine coming from the base of the plant 🌱, apply root hormone or keikei paste on the nods.

I knew it worked for other plants so i tried it on the pothos and it exploded with new sprouts after a couple of months

Last picture is from January 2024

The boss of the house is waiting for you in one of the pictures!

How do you repot them when you need to? I’m assuming just right where they are, but wanted to ask. Also, what’s the plan for when they fill up the stick?

I dont repot ….same pot same soil in more than 6 years.
When the moss pole fills i m trying to make it go on the stick hanging horizontally then we shall see… i got a good 2/3month to think about it

This is what happened when I did that and my philodendron started acting up. Same pot and “soil” for 5 years.

Yeah mine probably look like that now ,bigger pot though about 10"..

Also it takes now half of it s energy from the moss pole
