This is my plant café. It took a while for my wife to see the vision, but she loves it now. During our renovations on the house three years ago, I quietly claimed this previously dark area in the old den for this project (see the before pics).

We love the results. It’s a great place to sit with a cup of tea and forget about the problems of the world.

After last year’s mess of a season, my vegetable garden is really producing this year. Got this haul yesterday when I went outside to just “grab a couple tomatoes “ 😐………45 minutes later 😅

I have had limited success putting Pothos on moss poles. But have read some conflicting information on WHEN to start training it on the pole. Some say to start the minute the plant starts to vine/trail and is developing nodes. Others say you can do it any time after it trails as long as the nodes are in contact with the moss. In my experience it seems like it takes forever for the plant to become attached (if it ever does), and start growing into and up the pole. I have two plants on poles and I would say maybe only 1/3 of the nodes actually attached.

So I’m looking for some guidance with my next attempt:
1.) When to start early or ….whenever.

2.) My last attempt was using a semicircular moss pole filled with sphagnum moss. Should I be using something else? I also tried Coco Coir but I found it to be too crumbly (at least the one I used was).

3.) Do some Pothos do better on moss poles than others? This plant I want to use is in the pictures.

Any input would be appreciated.

Over the last 8 months I've been rehabilitating a Monstera Thai Constellation that I bought from Giant Tiger. It was about 10" high and barely surviving, now it's almost 3' tall. The newest leaf in front measured 24". Really excited to see how it will continue to progress.
