My pothos finally climered up the moss pole I set up last month, and I'm honestly shocked how fast it took off once it had something to grip. I've had this one for two years just trailing from a shelf, thinking that was

I've had my Epipremnum aureum trailing from a shelf for about three years now, and I'm finally getting the trailing stems to produce those characteristic fenestrated leaves. I read once that maturity is key, but I didn'
