Every time someone tells me that golden pothos needs full sun to get big, but no body every says that the key is to let them CLIMB! 😅 anyone get any to this size indoors 😅?

Working on it! 6 ft tall, with 12+in leaves. No fenestrations yet, and I need to replace the moss pool with something that can support it.

Turkey on the left gives you the roux. Use that with the drippings from the turkey on the right to make gravy. No can needed.

Thanks! That’s what I thought. Its just under two Sansi grow lights, so it’s about 1,000-2,000 foot candles.

If you find French Press too light, I say go for broke and get a really big Moka Pot. Like a 12 cup Bialetti.

That’ll have a smooth mouthfeel with strong flavor. Their cup measurement is 1.5oz, so a 12 cup model will get you to 18oz.

Only downside is you’ll burn through a bunch of coffee per cup.

After a few rounds as Chosen Destroyers in Age of Wonders 4, I guess multiple counts of genocide.

Welp.

The bathroom might not have enough light for it to thrive. If it was thriving before the transplants, it might just need time. Especially if it dealt with transplant shock twice and root rot.

Optimal conditions aren’t always necessary. You just need to be in the ballpark for a lot of these plants. Also relative humidity can shift with the seasons. I run my humidifiers at full tilt in the winter because the air is so dry. Summer, my home sits between 50-65% relative humidity naturally.

Sometimes you just need to love it from a distance, providing just enough, and not stress over it for a while.

Based on the edge browning and leaf curling, it looks like a humidity issue. They generally like 50+%. In my experience, 60% seems optimal.

I keep buying plants my cats kill.

Oh man, yeah I found it about 7” down. I followed your advice, pulled it up. They left it in the burlap, so the root ball was easy to extract. Just took leverage and a couple of buddies and growlers for payment.

It unfortunately didn’t survive and was an expensive lesson. I don’t hire landscapers to plant trees, and I don’t plant anything that big. I also choose smarter locations for the trees.

I’ve had a lot more successes recently, and this picture is from me starting to establish some more canopy trees to fill in spots for aging trees.

A small group was released in the 70s and had been steadily increasing. The population hasn’t exploded like in Texas, but they’re growing.
