Re: securing pothos gigantum to walls

---We use a product called E 6000 for attaching things like
tillandsias, etc, to rockwork. It is an industrail strength,
waterproof adhesive. It is very gummy at first and takes a while to
harden, so whatever you want to attach, you've got to tie up somehow
until the adhsehive hardens, which may take several hours or over
nite. but once it hardens, it holds pretty securely. there is a
similar product out there called "Tilly tacker" for attaching
tillandsias to trees, etc..

I think the problem is that it's just the juvenile form that's the clinger. Once the leaves get huge and the plant goes into its mature phase, it wants to...

I have tried 2 small eye-bolts on both sides with black or tan rubber coated copper wire and it relieved the weight pressure. Or pin the stem with a piece of...
