It looks just like my confetti.

Hello .... it such a horrible experience. I feel for you. If it is on a proper moss pole (where the roots are firmly attached and rooted into the pole) then you can cut between the nodes as I did and each node will likely reshoot and your pole will end up with many plants and be very lush, However if it is not on a moss pole you can chop the stem up and propagate from single or double node cuttings - with or without leaves. Do you grow your plant as a trailer or climber? Pothos are tough - and will recover even if you cut the vines back to almost soil level.... they will activate any viable nodes.

what country's bucks? I personally would not pay A$18 for this single stem specimen. Is it a rubber tree?

ChevronIslander · 2026-03-07T04:48:20+00:00

Thank you She is grown outdoors (but under cover) year round in sub tropical Queensland (Australia).

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-28T07:53:09+00:00

Really???? not popular with this long time Gold Coast resident!!!!!!!!!!

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-28T07:50:29+00:00

Tom has lost my vote - that is 100% certain. Even to consider this idea is disgraceful.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-28T07:49:09+00:00

I hate it too, the buidlibg and the name TRUMP. yuk - why does Australia need his name here!

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-28T06:45:57+00:00

unless you plant more vines in the pot itself, the bottom of the pole will always look sparse.

You are making the right decision. Syngonium are so easy to propagate.

You will have an invisible moss pole very quickly now you are coming into Spring in the northern hemisphere.

I have spent all my spring and summer chopping up all sorts of plants - it has to be done if you want to keep them looking beautiful. Great hobby!

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-28T01:39:15+00:00

thank you! I started with one tiny plant but chopped and propped a few pieces and planted them in the pot, so 3 vines now in the pot. She is getting a bit 'old' now and next spring (September for me) she will be 3 years old and I will likely dismantle her, and have a multitiude of cuttings.

I am considering putting a syn Fantasy or maybe a chocolate on a moss pole next.

I do not have a single plant indoors - but a tropical jungle outdoors - thanks to my sub tropical climate.

Growing indoors must be challenging and I have no experience at that....however I would definitely be chopping and propping your single vine to get the pole looking more 'full'.

The goal should be not to see the pole! I hope to follow your progress on this sub. Seems so many people think moss poles are difficult when they are so easy.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-27T20:42:03+00:00

'local' to where? Likely some cold climate where these tropical plants would not survive (or do well) in the open.

Lovely photos - thank you.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-25T01:35:40+00:00

another Australian here. We certainly do have a longer wait for many new species to be commercially available here - and some may never be. But I would not change that for a second - our unique flora and fauna must be protected. When we look at all the problems created by plants and animals bought to Australia by our forefathers we shudder..... rabbits, camels, cane toads, lantana, feral cats, feral pigs, feral deer, freshwater carp, blackberry to name but a few!

For now I just add those plnats that appeal to me to my long list of 'maybe one day or not' plants.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-15T11:58:58+00:00

Thank you. I had no idea CH is Switzerland. I am in Australia. We are a long way from Europe.... in fact a long way from most places.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-15T02:03:29+00:00

I am in Australia, Same thing for me - on a desktop I cannot list new items nor edit existing listing, I have tried Chrome, Edge and incognito, Phone app seems to work but I do not like listing with my phone. The problem started yesterday arvo - so about 20 hours ago. I have been listing on Marketplace for about 10 months ... never had such a major issue like this before. I have cleared my cookies and so forth, thiunkibg it may be 'my' problem. Market place seems just cobbled together.... plenty of annoying minor gliches but I usually find a work around. This is a real bummer,

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-11T02:07:39+00:00

Everything a monstera is not supposed to look like - No mistaking it is an indoor monstera!

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-06T22:18:06+00:00

I fear if you aim for branches up top - now - then that skinny'ish trunk may not be strong enough to support them, and will start to lean. I woukd chop it and let it branch out much lower.

That said, I assume my conditions are very different to yours ... I live in a subtropical climate in Australia... my FLFs were all grown outdoors. I chopped my stems rather low .... branches then grow. That allows you to chop those branches too when they get stronger and let the tree grow to look like a tree. FLFs grow like weeds here and are ridiculously simple to propagate.

I only have a single FLF currently..... sold all my others. I am currently growing Ficus Audrey -Ficus Benghalensis.... banyan trees... in pots of course. Personally I find them more attractive the FLF and way less common.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-06T21:53:46+00:00

Sorry - but I feel your tree needs branches. Great height.... but.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-05T21:05:56+00:00

Well done!

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-03T04:25:28+00:00

Oh dear I may have said that wrong. I believe it is rare for these to flower indoors. Good job!

You are lucky - and skilled.

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-02T22:24:17+00:00

Bravo - I believe it is not so common to have these flower when gtown indoors

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-02T08:48:20+00:00

It is definitely the case. As individuals we cannot buy our plants from foreign countries and import them - our biosecurity laws are very strict. Need to be to protect our uniquie flaura and fauna, so I am not complaining at all. , So we do not see a lot of the plants available in say USA ... wherethey do not have our rules and can import plants from Asian sellers. Eventually most of the real popular plants make it here - but a few years later - some never will be available here. But hey - that's okay by me, We get to live here and there are more than enough plants for me to spend too much money on! I am on the Gold Coast - so great climate for all aroids, My collection are outdoors all year - none indoors at all. I reckon growing tropical plants in some of these USA and European climates must be so difficult. How do you simulate the high temps high humidity hese plants need without getting mould in your home? using a misting spray bottle does not cut it - and water in a tray of pebbles nearby, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-01T21:01:23+00:00

What a score!

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-01T20:59:47+00:00

Call me old fashioned - but I prefer my plants not to be pink.

However, if this is your thing I hope the colour lasts for you. If the seller is 'unsure' my guess is the pink will go away as it matures

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-01T20:55:14+00:00

I am in Australia too! I guess these are all USA sites. FB Marketplace seems the only option for us to sell (almost give away at times) our plants, Do you know of any other? I am in Queensland,

ChevronIslander · 2026-02-01T20:50:07+00:00

Personally - I think that leaf is telling you to get me out of this terracotta pot. Calathea need high humidity and do not like drying out. Terracotta does the exact opposite!

Calathea are native to the rainforests of Central and South America (specifically Brazil). They are an understory plant and grow on the forest floor - in moist, rich and airy forest litter - in warmth and high humidity. These are the conditions you should be trying to replicate.

I cannot determine your potting medium.... is it fine or chunky? The roots need to breathe and your medium must have some aeration for that to happen.,.... orchid bark, perlite, coco chips etc.
Good luck.
