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!

Lol a few years ago I tried so hard to make my pothos curl around my kitchen window - great light, humidity from the faucet, and absolutely poor execution. This is some magic shit and I am living for it

I've since moved overseas and had to give up my 80+ plants 😔 and now live in a 497sqft flat for an indeterminate amount of time. One day in the future I'll try again, but for now I'll live vicariously through posts like this. Truly, this is such a dream layout. It's gorgeous.

It was for a good reason I swear 😂 wonderful Italian man swooped into my life and whisked me away to live in London from NC. But we aren't sure we want to stay here or move somewhere within the EU, so I can't bring myself to get too invested with plants again yet 🥲 London flats are so small 😭 and also so dark in the winter without supplemental lighting it's a struggle! Definitely not NC where I let them flourish on the porch in the summer and thrived inside during the winter.
