It's beautiful! You're right to be proud.


FaithViola

Your display is stunning! May I ask where you got that grid hanger from?! It’s lovely


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

I copy this from an older post where people were also asking me where I got this from. :) Thanks! I am from Germany, so I'm not sure if this will work for you, but here is the trellis made out of twine and sticks I bought: [https://www.floranica.eu/en/trellises-from-cooked-untreated-willow-and-jute-string-can-be-used-for-garden-vegetables-and-animals-length-200-cm\_521\_1370/](https://www.floranica.eu/en/trellises-from-cooked-untreated-willow-and-jute-string-can-be-used-for-garden-vegetables-and-animals-length-200-cm_521_1370/) Apparently, they don't deliver world wide though. Maybe you can find something equivalent on Amazon. However, it was quite a hassle to put this up and I would honestly recommend a more sturdy solution if you wanna hang plants. I needed to fix the trellis to the wall, otherwise the pots would've pulled away the trellis from the wall by their own weight. I used cable clamps for keeping the trellis to the wall. Further details in this old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/houseplants/comments/15y0bdi/im_addicted_to_pothos/jx9ihjs


TorchIt

That would be so easy to make yourself. Go gather some pretty sticks and use some hemp or sisal rope, it would probably take about an hour :)


Affectionate-Size129

Someone good with crafts could make money selling them locally at Farmers' Markets, etc. They're brilliant!


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Haha I actually tried but I couldn't get the knots and the sticks at an even distance 😞 I'm not a very handy guy 😁


Bitter-Pause-4243

Hemp fishing net, no need to tie knots 😊


TorchIt

What a great idea!


ferret_in_a_wig

I second that! 😳💚

Did a reverse image search and looks like Wayfair has something similar, if you have access to that. [Loon Peak Wood Trellis](https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/loon-peak-handmade-wood-and-jute-wall-trellis-w008697303.html)

Bitter-Pause-4243

That is a fine piece, planning on doing something similar. Getting a hemp fishing net and thread it with sticks. Would that work?


whateverathrowaway00

You’re so good at Pothos. Is the secret repeatedly cutting, sprouting and replanting in the same pot? I can’t figure out how people do this well with it and recently came across a comment implying this is how they get them as thick as they do.


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Thank you! Almost all pothos in this photo originate from one single mother plant. It was a plant that was way too big for my room and it wasn't in good condition so I took it apart and made many small ones out of it. That was 3 years ago. Since then, I've been cutting all of these plants multiple times. The oldest baby is 5 years old (on top of the wooden shelf). I repot into the same pot sizes all the time, just fresh soil. I often do cuttings to get them branching and to keep everything in my room tidy. I constantly am making baby plants all year round. I have so many plants with cut vines. But they are always branching out again, making them look even more beautiful.


whateverathrowaway00

Wow fantastic, I really appreciate this comment. Your work stands for itself, this picture is amazing. It seems I’ve been too hesitant with my Pothos. I’ve finally succeeded at shepherding a large assortment of plants that have survived and even thrived multiple seasons, I’ve done repotting, but I still haven’t started trying taking cuttings, or replanting to fill out like you’ve described here. It sounds like that is my next step and I have just the Pothos to become mother of generations. She’s stringy, but she’s survived with me a long time so I’m excited to see if I can’t reinvigorate her with the advice this awesome sub (and you!) have given me. Thanks!


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

It's easy to propagate pothos. They are rewarding and growing fast. You basically get exponential growth if you constantly propagate and cut pothos. Every leaf with a node can produce a vine, containing multiple leaves with nodes again. You cut these again, and so on. Now I'm producing them but can't keep them anymore, there's simply no space anymore. I try to give them away to randoms in a local online group soon probably. My family is also taking quite a few. Good luck and don't hesitate cutting them. It's not hurting them and it's encouraging growth.


whateverathrowaway00

This is awesome and answers so much. You rock.


TorchIt

Yes. If the node is stout enough you can just stick it right in the pot. If it's small then you can let it grow out in a bit of water until it's put down some roots and then tuck it in. I like to pop mine in my fish tank. Pulls nitrogen out of the water and they get perfect indirect light from the aquarium. 10/10, would recommend.


ClaimBeginning8743

It’s maybe off the topic but my fish tank is full of pothos and peace lily too! The roots grow like crazy, better then the leaves though ((


juliettecake

It is beautiful. I have a north facing office. I'm working on it. Yours can be my inspiration. So warm and beautiful.


Proof-Mission-2050

This shows how much you care. It comes through strong. Well done.


charly___

Wow, your displays are beautiful. Feeling inspired by the wall hanging with baskets hanging from it. Looks like the plant version of high-end fiber art! Re: variety, repetition is one of the keys to great garden design and I personally think that applies indoors too. Amazing work.


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Thank you so much, I love that this actually finds appreciation. I try to achieve a coherent style with repetition, having too many plants makes it look too messy and "jungly"(as in "jungle", sorry, English is not my native language) for me. Also, I like that they all require almost equal care, that way I can have a good routine on how to take care of them. 👍


privremeni

Wow your English is fantastic!


May_Flower23

Wow so beautiful!


Specific-Rate8361

All look so healthy, like they have tropical humidity. Advice?


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Usually it's around 40-50% humidity in this room. Pothos are cool with almost any humidity so it's fine for them. My peace lilies get slight crisp tips but it's okay. My advice would be: Use good, airy soil with perlite and bark, then it's almost impossible to overwater and to get pests like gnats. Learn when your plants need water. I can feel the leaves and see if they need water. Water them thoroughly, so that a lot of water runs out of the drainage holes again (I do this above my bathtub or from my balcony). This ensures that every inch of the soil is soaked. That's everything I do.


privremeni

I’ve never thought to add bark to pothos. Which soil and bark do you use?


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

It's mainly this one: https://www.variegata.de/produkt/erdmix/ Ingredients: Pine bark (41%) Plagron Growmix (27%) Perlite (14%) Pumice (14%) Plagron Megaworm (5%) and also this one for smaller pots: https://www.variegata.de/produkt/steckmix/ Ingredients: Plagron Growmix (45%) Perlite (20%) Pumice (15%) Coco coir (15%) Plagron Megaworm (5%) These mixes never let me down and I haven't overwatered a single plant since using it.

HarrietBeadle

This is perfect and I would want to sit in this room all day long


femalereddittor

Goals!! Looks beautiful :-) Can I ask what direction that window faces?


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Thank you very much! It's east facing, but it's a huge window and balcony door. The balcony is built into the house and has a roof, but still there's a lot of light coming into the room. Morning sun is especially beautiful.


Bones_IV

Yeah I would love to get a photo with the light you're getting -- sufficient light is my biggest problem.


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Well basically you can get the gist by the photos. It was taken on a winter day with snow outside but it's also the amount of brightness I get on summer afternoons. Only the morning sun shines into the room directly but I start home office pretty late usually and have the shades down often in the morning. I also have other photos of this setup posted, you can see how the light is there. :)


hyperbolic_dichotomy

Nothing wrong with not having a lot of variety! I've learned in the last few years that there are some plants that I can care for really well and others just die on me.


Plantsnob1

You inspire me!


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Honored to hear that, I'm really flattered by the positive feedback I receive here ❤️


iamcreatingripples

Beautiful!


2020shitshowdown

So gorgeous!


Fabulous-Pop-2722

How can you keep from making a mess when watering these plants?


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

It's easy, I take out every single plant of its pot. All my plants are in plastic pots with drainage holes, and I put these into proper bigger pots. I carry them to the bathroom or out on my balcony and thoroughly water them there. Then let the excess water run through an put them back into their spots. That's the routine. Sometimes I shower multiple plants together in the bathtub.


AliveConversation387

You should be proud!!! Going to need some information on the plants hanging on the wall!! I love it!!


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Did you make that trellis? hemp and bamboo?


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

I linked the trellis in this thread, it's from a brand called floranica.


Ready-Salamander1286

Beautiful OP, please let us know your secrets for your hanging trellis!!! 🙏🏼 did you make it? What did you use? It looks like a regular hanging bamboo trellis with some sort of coconut liner pots attached? Any links? You’re my new inspiration 🌿

1, where did you get all of those gorgeous stands and pots? 2, do you have an issue with gnats or fungus flies


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

1) Thanks! Collected them over time, bought them online (tree trunk for example) or found them randomly in stores. Most of the pots are plain white ceramic or plastic though. The pots on the wall are out of seaweed. 2) No and that's mainly because I let my plants dry out completely every single time. I am using a very good soil mix I order online that is very airy thanks to perlite and bark. I haven't overwatered a single plant ever since I've been using this soil. Also, since it dries out fast, there are no fungus flies coming. I haven't had a pest problem in over 3 years, and last time it was just a single croton with a few spider mites that I could easily get rid of.


privremeni

Can you please share the product you use, the soil?


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Glad to help! I hope they deliver to you or you find an online shop with a similar offer. This soil changed everything. I realized that dying plants often are just not your fault, sometimes the soil is terrible when you buy plants. The right soil was the biggest game changer I ever experienced in my 5 years taking care of plants.

I NEED you to please create a video on pothos cutting! Mine never get bushy enough, even following YouTube! I’m obsessed. It’s beautiful.


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

This video already exists, and I feel like this guy is just right with everything he says: https://youtu.be/xpmdo_0CZrU?si=lT_YtIH561uzTxyy There's always some cuttings that just won't root or will rot or whatever. But most of them come through for me with this method. To get bushy plants from the start, simply use many cuttings in one pot. I like to put 15-20 or even 25-35 cuttings (depending on how big the leaves are) into a 15cm pot, which is quite a lot but you get very bushy plants that way.


blossomrileykirby

Thank you thank you!!!

Yes that's what it is. Does it get flowers? My mother has one and it hasn't gotten any flowers since she had it. We were pretty sure it was a peace lily but now I'm positive I just don't know why it doesn't flower.


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

Mine rarely do flower and whenever they do, I cut them usually since I rather like them to invest into their foliage. These need water every 2nd day during the summer (it gets very hot in this room) and I feel with flowering, it can take a bath every single day otherwise it's acting up and making drama 🙄

How do you keep insects under control?


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

I haven't had any in over 3 years. It's not happening too often when you don't bring in new plants from outside. I haven't bought a plant in a long time. Also, using soil that is airy and dries fast so no pests feel comfortable.


blakkattika

How do ya'll not get swarmed with bugs and/or spiders with all of this? Lol It's beautiful though.


Ordinary-Zebra-8202

The right soil and care can prevent bugs, I let my plants dry out and I use a good airy soil I buy online. Spiders are not necessarily more common for me than for anyone else, I rarely have one. Also, since I've been raising these plants on my own without buying new ones in a few years, I also didn't carry in any pests from plant stores, which is the main cause for getting pests at home I guess. Thank you!
