What is the best type of trellis system for my Baltic blue Pothos?… | Planet Pothos | Planta-community

Lynda

What is the best type of trellis system for my Baltic blue Pothos? She’s growing like crazy and has outgrown this and two other smaller versions of trellises. This is what she looks like currently; the second picture is a trellis I put together, which is expandable up to 70 inches. It’s pretty sturdy, but I feel like it’s overkill. I thought about a moss pole, but it doesn’t seem like she would be as pretty if she were all bunched together on a pole rather than being spread out. I need some opinions from pathos owners in the know. TIA for your astute opinions. 😊💚🪴

    Beautiful! This may be unhelpful but with my longer pothos I wound up just trailing them on the wall 😬🙃 even though it makes it more difficult to clean/water, totally worth it and then it becomes living art! ❤️

    A moss pole or similar works best to give the roots attachment points. The leaves will split more while transforming to the mature phase.

      Thanks for the image. It really does help to see what a moss pole looks like with a plant like mine. I think I may take your advice and shop for a pole like yours. I’m not familiar with these; can you give me some advice on what kind of pole to look for or the best place to purchase one. Any advice would be really helpful. TXS 😊💚🪴

      Amazon sells a pack of 6 that can be make one long pole. They also sell singles that bend.

      The typical ones have a PVC center tube wrapped with coconut husk (coco coir) or have sphagnum moss. I prefer coco coir. The picture shows a typical set of stackable pole sections plus several ties. It’s about $14 on sale with a $4 coupon.
