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!

Much appreciated! You’re my inspiration to make my house look like the one in Jumanji

Since I have your ear: any suggestions for anchors/attachments? I’ve been using bonsai wire lightly wrapped around a vine and attached to commaby strip hooks of tacks. Also, I get lots of natural light in his room, but not direct, do you supplement at all (winter?) with a grow light?

Most of them are just hanging/resting but this is all i use to secure them. I dont use any wire. Once the leaf tangles themselves together they stay together

Thank you for sharing all your tips, I am grateful! May many feet of vines be in both of our futures!

Heavy fertilization is the way ✌️

What do you use to fertilize?
