My golden goddess is getting very tall. How do I keep her upright? I have a couple stakes already but she’s at 3ft 10in and growing 😳

    That isn’t a pothos, looks to be a ficus variety.

    Hello! Mine was 2 ft and irregularly shaped due to change in light exposure, so I chopped it and am propagating it to encourage bushy growth like this fantasy version I found a picture of online! 😍 mine has a moss pole and a dream!

      Thank you! I always get scared of cutting down my plants. I’m not ready to that yet with this one. That picture is beautiful…goals for sure 😊

      Mine was easy to cut because it looked so funky anyway! Yours is lovely!

    It looks like they lashed stakes to a moss pole like Lincoln logs or something 😆

    These are such pretty plants. I had one that I chopped and propped. I’m enjoying seeing new baby leaves, moreso than I did the mature part of the plant. Such pretty leaves!

    This is one of my favorite plants. It grows so fast and it's easy to care for. Chop and prop it a few times so you can have a fuller pot. Put a moss pole on the middle.
