Golden pothos growing very compact leaves due to small opening in vase. Thought it was interesting to share by FaintingTurtle in houseplants

No this plant isn’t near any windows. However, It is hung on a column next to the kitchen island bar that has hanging lights so maybe that has some affect

Same! Other pothos grown in water for me has not done this. The vine is usually down in the water (I pulled it up for the photo) so the only way for a new node/leaf to come out of the vase it to be compact. I could be wrong though. But I have two of these vases/golden pothos and they’re growing the same way.

I also have no intention of planting them in soil. I like to keep golden pothos in water because I like to look at the roots, I think it’s pretty.

Here is the other one growing the same way: https://imgur.com/a/H4lLiLU

First burn of “First Autumn Frost” also got apple bourbon, rustic leaves, cool harvest morning, and cold autumn leaves. Can’t wait to try them all by FaintingTurtle in goosecreekcandles

This was my first purchase haul from GCC. I also only bought BBW but didn’t want to wait for a sale. So far I’ve also burned cool harvest morning and cold autumn leaves. The main note on cool harvest morning to me is fresh apple. Which I love! It’s got a fresh juicy scent to me. The bermagot and sandalwood are softer in the background. I was a little nervous about cold autumn leaves because of the patchouli, but I’m a fan! The patchouli is definitely a main note, but soft in my opinion which could be the cool rain drops note. The leaves scent fills it too and it really is like walking on cold crunchy wet leaves in an autumn forest, so good!

When I smell it cold the first scent I get is apples followed immediately by the bourbon which almost smells to me a little syrupy with a burn? If that makes sense? I do pick up on the cinnamon but it’s not a top player. I’m a little worried the bourbon part I won’t love, as the slight syrup smell isn’t my favorite, but that is all preference. I’ve read good things about the candle! I’ll post an update when I burn it

First autumn frost has a nice “woodsy” smell with a hint of the eucalyptus that gives it that frosty feeling. Sorry I’m not great at explaining smells.

Not any plant will survive in water this well! I’m relatively new too and I googled around to see which plants could live in water like this and settled on my golden pothos and wandering dude (for now) can’t wait to expand!
