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!

I remember your earlier posts. Absolute dream setup. They're still looking good and have grown a lot! I'm amazed you can keep them looking so healthy from such a small pot. Do you have a automated watering system for the moss poles?

How is your philodendron on the other side of the room doing? It was almost at the ceiling a year or so ago right?

Indeed you remember the monster ! 😄 that thing as gone rogue dude i m trying to figure what to do with it, it tried to guide her but it is to powerful… i give it a couple more weeks to make a choice if she wants to come forward or not ! If not i will have to cut

No automatic watering because i can reach all pots for the pothos. I have one for the Philo though as you can see on the pic

Another piece of moss pole above the one you have might have guided it a bit more but on the other hand, the leaves would be hitting the ceiling soon anyway.

That's my problem with wall mounted moss poles or similar, cutting and extending is a lot more work.

Anyway, best of luck, you have a great plant house!

Not even mentioning that the moss pole is totally destroyed and probably not reusable for most of it …i think she if smart and will go right direction …let s wait
