Should I do that soon or wait until it's bigger? #### plantgeek님이 2025-05-17에 답변했습니다. give it a week or two to adjust to the new environment, and then add the pole ### Lynda님이 2025-05-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. They also like to trail… or not! ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/y25AwvYnSXK9AyGSNpACzQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/I2LduqglRm6yl6M6fa64NA.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/G370FpJuTjCYjGmKBEUl5w.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/oo3pqEntQHaUbEhbhOtNaw.webp?size=large) ### Sunny님이 2025-05-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. I wished I had installed a moss pole with my manjula pothos. ### Springvision님이 2025-05-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mine have always been happy trailing. And they like to be snug in their pot. 😁 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nOn5ZcOMqOQafKhO9uUSA31347x_e6bxns9fTAZ9fiU/ycVca4TDQi6z4bqdfygQhA.webp?size=large) ### Yolanda님이 2025-05-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. Give the plant bright indirect light, get a soil moisture meter so you can check it before watering. ### Katm3281님이 2025-05-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. Pothos are one of the easiest plants to maintain and you have a rare beauty know as the marble queen pothos!!😊 I’ve had mine for 3 years and there have been times where I would go weeks without watering and they still thrived😂. The best thing about this plant is it tells you when they are thirsty (leaves will curl up). They love to hang or climb I let mine do a mix of both so it’s up to you. Make sure at least once a month you check the roots as they grow rapidly and can quickly become root bound if you do not repot accordingly as well as fertilize it! And if you ever want to propagate the leaves you have to cut them at the nodes (little brown bumps under the leaves) and submerge them into water with fertilizer. Hope this helps and welcome to being a pothos parent!🤗 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/fthoHmHqSCrbpImDF2RZscDbgtgSCqJfzyC1AGfu8Lw/75OK0mUERCCIAkawOPrnXQ.webp?size=large) ### Lynda님이 2025-05-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. FYI: these are plants you should use a wooden stick or skewer to see if they need to be watered, or not. If you’re not familiar with the drill, push a wooden stake all the way to the bottom of the pot, and let us sit there for several minutes, the longer the better. When you pull the stake out, if there are wet crumbs on bottom of it, don’t water. If there are just tiny dry pieces of dirt, then it’s time to water. This is the best way to know if your plant needs a drink, and you’ll never need to worry about root rot! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
