Pothos is a climber that almost nobody lets climb. It gets hung in a basket, allowed to trail, and kept in the juvenile form it had the day it left the greenhouse. In the wild it goes up a tree, and the leaves respond by getting dramatically larger.

So we gave it something to climb. The pole is the point of this one — aerial roots grip into the damp coco coir, and the plant reads it as a trunk. New growth comes in bigger than the growth below it, and it keeps going as long as the pole stays moist.

The yellow marbling is unrepeatable. No two leaves take it the same way.

Details

• Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
• Real coco coir pole, hand wrapped
• Live moss ball, hand formed
• Display dish sold separately
• Handmade individually, so moss coverage, ball shape, variegation, and plant size vary from the photo.

Care

• Light: bright indirect light. Direct sun bleaches the variegation; deep shade turns it plain green. The yellow needs light to hold.
• Water: soak 2 to 3 minutes, drain fully, then let the ball lose some weight before the next soak. Roughly every 7 to 10 days indoors. Pothos resents staying saturated — a ball that never dries invites root rot.
• Water the pole too. Pour or mist down the coir until it darkens. A dry pole is a pole the roots will not attach to, and unattached vines stop sizing up.
• Temperature: normal indoor range, above 55F / 13C.
• Yellow leaves at the base are usually overwatering. Brown crispy edges are usually underwatering or dry air.
• Vines can be pinned back to the pole with a hairpin or floral pin as they grow.
• Toxic to cats and dogs if chewed.

Every ball is formed and wrapped by hand, so the jute pattern and the shape of the sphere are unique to your piece. The plant varies too, in size, form, and color. Yours will not look exactly like the photo, and we think that is the best part.
