# Whew! I found a gorgeous pothos at the grocery store for less than…

Whew! I found a gorgeous pothos at the grocery store for less than $18. She was growing wild and free. I made 2 moss poles and repotted her. I had to manipulate the branches quite a bit so im betting she, and the monstera that joined her are going to be unhappy for a while. They came from a 6” (monstera - Annabelle) and an 8” (pothos- Esmerelda) and they now share a 12 inch. It has good drainage. They sit about half way down in n the pot. Repotted with miracle grow indoor potting soil. Everything is well watered and I rinsed the leaves using a spray bottle. I’m aware that they will need plenty of time to dry out before they need to be watered at all.  
My biggest question is whether I need to trim out any of the leaves growing in the middle of the branches that are obscured by the other leaves and vines.  
My second question is how often should I rotate the pot?

Would having a grow light on the side not facing the window be affective?
