Pothos training tips? I need her to not be so crazy and everywhere, I’ve got these coir moss poles, would that work? It’s what I use on the Monstera.

Im having the same problem w/ my marble queen. She has run herself crazy trying to grow outward.

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2024-11-20

Yes, you can strap her down to the pole so she's growing in a tower like fashion.

#### Kayla replied on 2024-11-20

Are there specific places to put the ties so it doesn’t kill it?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2024-11-20

When i strap to a poll i use the velcro tape, and make a loose-ish circle And it's just cradling the plant. You can pin circle to the pole too if it won't stay up

I use these for some of my other plants, thanks! 😊

I prefer trellises for pothos. I don't have to tie them to anything, I can just wrap them around and the trellis holds them in place

I had mine on a trellis for a while and then she started to overgrow it and started flopping forward. 😆 I’m thinking of taking a cutting and doing a DIY moss pole

#### Hayley replied on 2024-11-21

My big girl on the left used to be on the circle trellis on the right... and outgrew it in a couple months 🤣

I've decided once she fills out that trellis, I'm just going to take cuttings because a bigger trellis won't fit in the cabinet lol

#### Kayla replied on 2024-11-21

Ohh how pretty! Any you recommend? I didn’t know they made them smaller.

#### Hayley replied on 2024-11-21

These are the two I have! Both very sturdy and I love that they're not a typical plain trellis (not that there's anything wrong with those! Just not my style lol)

You could just trim her, but it seems you don't want to do that
