RE: [AZH] securing pothos gigantum to walls

Have you considered creating / mounting a lattice system on the wall and weaving the pothos through it as it grows?  You could purchase a system such as Greenscreen ( www.greenscreen.com ) or build your own depending on how big the wall is.  If it is a ‘smaller’ wall, you could even design it so that the lattice system folds down to allow work on the wall.  You would want to make sure that the lattice system is not bolted right up against the wall – leave a gap between the wall and the lattice of several inches.

Subject: [AZH] securing pothos gigantum to walls

 

Does anyone know of a way to keep Pothos secured to concrete walls?
Either culturally or mechanically. I have great luck getting them up
the walls but their weight pulls them down and I have to start over. I
get lots of cuttings this way but would rather they stay put

Pothos is a clinger not a twiner. I'd look for a solution in sealing the concrete (to provide a better clinging surface and stop the pH issue) and keeping its...
