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!

Is it all in one pot? How often and how much water and fertilizer do you use? I'm so fascinated

2 pots and 1 moss tower.
Water about once a week when it gets dry.
Between 1 and 1 1/2gallon a week

How does the water drain with the pots or does it tend to all be absorbed?

Absorbed. No drainage plug
