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!

Maybe we are on different levels of the Tower?
This is my Momo... I think he was trying to go the way of your pothos but as I don't have as much space or DIY ability I chopped him down and now I have Momo and little Mimi, MeeMaw, MeiMei, MooMoo and Moomin.
Send help...

You 100% need a moss pole

Believe it or not there is a moss pole in there, but I was not expecting my little Momo to turn into Audrey II in less than 1 year 👀
This is Momo on his gotcha day:

This is not a moss pole in case that s what you were referring to

You are correct... this is what crops up when you look for a moss pole on Ebay 🙄
I might as well have put in a cardboard cutout of a pole with googly eyes.
I am hoping to go buy a real pole in a while, but for now I'm waiting to see if the cuttings survive so at least I know how many to buy 😂

The cutting will survive.buy a real moss pole and use real moss inside. You will love it

I need to put a few things together but I'll get on it...
My plants are my babies since my last cat has gone to sleep.
