Hello everyone! I had posted a while back that I was worried about having switched my pothos to a wooden plank. I accidentally broke a big chunk of roots and it was a newly rooted cutting. Little did I know how resilient goldens are! Wanted to share the then and now 😍

I love this! I’ve been wanting to try more climbing rather than trailing with my pothos to get bigger leaves, but I wasn’t sure if the sage effect could be obtained with a plank as a moss pole. I’d love to continue to see updates!

Thank you! After some research I decided plank maintenance was easier for me 😂 cause there’s basically none. I just had to keep taping the new growth for a while. I’ve read that wood also mimics the trees they would grow up in their natural habitat. No hate on moss poles 😂 the plank is just cheaper and less maintenance which is my goal haha
