most people use moss covered wood for the stake. they have to have something solid to cling to in order to grow up. that said, if you have them too close to a wall, they will climb the wall, curtains, whatever they can grab. and i have seen them grab the drywall. not often, but it does happen.

I've staked mine on a moss pole ( I found it after a lot of hunting!!!) and its growing really well. The leaves are getting bigger as its growing up

The idea I saw in one of my books was to get some wire like fencing, like chicken wire or something.. make it cylinder shaped and use wire to keep it that shape.. then pack it with Moss using a stick to really pack it in all the way from bottom up and put the pole in the pot. Then you use small bits of wire to pin the plant to the pole to train it to grow up.

Lord, please let me be the person my dog thinks I am!

oh, btw, I didn't realize this until now, but I have a cutting from mine that I've got in a small pot with a bamboo stake in it and that green velcro tape holding it to. could always go that route, too.

Right now my potho has taken over my glass top coffee table. I had no idea that it was a potho until joining this site. You guys n dolls are the greatest! I'm thinking of placing it in a hanging pot and encourage it to climb up the ropes...what do ya'll think?
