Hi everyone,
I have 2 pots of pothos. Both plants have been growing healthily in my house for many years. But while one has grown some very long vines, the other one hasn't. Do I have to keep the pothos hanging in order for the plant to grow long vines?

Please advice. Thank you!

my guess is that the hanging plant has a ceiling above it, so it grows down to maximize light exposure. the one sitting on a plant stand, however, has no need to grow down, as it has enough light directly above it.
what I prefer to do, is leave my hanging ones alone, and for my sitting ones, I put a bamboo stake or 3 in the pot, and let it climb the bamboo.

Thanks for your suggestion. Light exposure probably is what that has made the difference. Let me give what you suggested a try and see what will happenHaesuse wrote:my guess is that the hanging plant has a ceiling above it, so it grows down to maximize light exposure. the one sitting on a plant stand, however, has no need to grow down, as it has enough light directly above it.
