My neon pothos had water the color of the deep forest and one sad stem, so I cleaned her up and trimmed away the dead weight…and she is still taking over my shelf. #plants #pothos #growth

Moonbeam is looking much happier to me after her repot! She was like 75% roots

It's a highlight of my week when a new leaf unfurls, especially on variegated plants because each new leaf is a surprise! 💚

Experiment time!

Made a prop box and I’m testing out using dyed reindeer moss that has been thoroughly washed till the water went clear on some pearls and jade #pothos cuttings.

Any way this goes is valuable data!

I love this article. It explains often overlooked or misunderstood issues about the mix you use!

Water in, and the first drop should reach the saucer inside thirty seconds.

Both extremes end in the same soft droop, so read the mix before pouring.

Wet the column first. Dry moss gives aerial roots nothing to grip.

Pruning does make a Pothos bushier. The dormant bud below the tip is why.
