How do you secure pothos to a wall?
Training: A pothos won’t climb on its own, so use a removable support system to guide its tendrils along a wall or ceiling. Command hooks, metal picture hangers, and string work well.
Can I tape pothos to the wall?
Command™ Clear Mini Hooks: Almost invisible, these mini-hooks hang with adhesive strips that won’t damage your walls. Pothos Vines: These are the perfect plants for a living wall because they’re survivors that deal well with low light (more care tips below), and they’re easy to hang, twine, and coax up a wall.

How do you hang pothos plants?
Plant the golden pothos to the same depth as the plant root ball, using a lightweight potting soil or a soil-less potting mixture of equal parts sphagnum peat and perlite. Hook the chains or cables in place, spaced evenly around the hanging basket.
Do pothos like to climb or hang?
Pothos are the perfect plants for hanging baskets, wall sconces, or climbing trellises. Pothos can be pinched back regularly to encourage bushier growth. If they are not pinched back, the plants tend to grow lanky and thin.
How do you train plants up a wall?
Training against a wall
- Plant your climber about 30-45cm (1ft-18in) from the base of the wall, so that it has room for root development and will catch the rain.
- Remove all ties; with plants from a garden centre, use scissors to cut off plastic ties that hold the climber to its bamboo cane supports.
Is it okay to put tape on plants?
Plant tape or even old pieces of nylon are ideal for binding the stem. Anything that expands can be used to reconnect the broken piece to the parent plant.

How do you train pothos to hang?
Pothos are natural climbers but indoors are not their native habitat. To learn how to make a pothos climb, you need to understand how they grow in the wild, then replicate those conditions. The natural habitat for pothos and similar tropical vining plants is rainforests.
Should pothos be staked?
Do climbing plants need to be staked up? No. As long as you’re watering your plant properly and it has enough light, your plant won’t care either if it’s staked or not.
Where should I place my pothos?
They do well in bright, indirect light as well as low light and can be grown in dry soil or in vases of water. They will thrive in nutrient rich soil, but do almost as well in nutrient poor soil. Pothos plants make a great addition to your bathroom or office because they can tolerate low light.
Can You stake a pothos plant to a trellis?
Yes, you can stake a pothos plant to a trellis. This will allow you to have a whole pothos wall in your home – super cool! You don’t need to tie a pothos plant to a trellis. You can simply place the vines through some of the gaps, and then allow the pothos to do its thing by clinging and climbing.
How to stake Pothos without a moss pole?
You could also use a bamboo cane for staking pothos plants. I like using bamboo on large plants that don’t require the structural integrity of a moss pole. You could even use a combination of bamboo and moss pole by tying the vines to the bamboo, and then staking the bamboo to the moss pole.
How do you keep Pothos vines from getting tangled?
If you choose to let your pothos grow into a long vine, it can be secured on hooks to trail along walls and over window frames. Vines left to grow on their own can get very tangled, so shake them loose every now and then to keep them from becoming a mess.
Should I let my Pothos grow towards the Sun?
Pothos plants can’t reach their full potential if they’re not encouraged to grow towards the sun, as this would never happen in the wild. Letting your plant trail can also cause leggy growth with small leaves. If this sounds like your plant, then please read our latest article on making pothos plants fuller.
