# The pothos tree. It’s approximately 5’6” to the top of the pole, and…

The pothos tree. It’s approximately 5’6” to the top of the pole, and it’s 3 years old. It was originally a true spagnum moss pole that I religiously kept moist, but one day I just stopped watering it (the pole that is not the plant!) It still grows beautifully. Its spot is 10’ away from a west facing window. In the winter, I put a dinky clip on grow light on it and it gets banished to the north facing living room to make room for the Christmas tree for a bit, but it still doesn’t complain much.

She’s beautifully potted and looks like a great addition in that space! I love it!!

I gave mine a moss pole a couple months back and honestly can’t believe how fast it has grown. Mine is nearly 2 years old and I had to split it into 2 pots after the first year.

I’m hoping it does as well as yours! She is beautiful!
