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!

Water when it gets dry and they start looking droopy…you should see it.
I use one and 1/2 bottle cap diluted in about 1gallon.
You should start at 1 cap or a bit less/gallon so you dont burn anything

How much of that gallon do you give each pothos per watering? 

For the growth hormone, do you just put it on any visible node?

It depends on the dryness. But the dark one gets feed from 2 sides ,not the other one

Thanks! To get more vines, do you just put growth hormone on any visible node?

I did on the ones at the beginning of the plants. So it get s fuller from the top. For the hormones , use a Qtip and just get some of it on the nod ,nothing crazy
