Ok, that intro was hilarious!! The plant looked so cute with the little pink dumbbells!😅 love this series with Jeff. Plant looks great!! The slotted plank is genius and working well. Thanks for the update!! How's the plant room build going?

[@TechplantChannel]

Glad you enjoyed! Plant room needs work, ive been lazy

[@joannelasage2053]

It's getting huge! I really want to try this. This challenge with you 2 has been a Great idea! I LOVE the intro! Ties for first with the bed 😂

[@DragoniteSpam]

Next experiment: do plants respond better to weight training, or to cardio?

[@EverythingPlants]

Wow! That is some impressive growth and variegation!

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks!

[@Planty-Mandy]

Honestly this just looks like the proof that a “Hawaiian Pothos” is just a regular old Golden Pothos that’s been grown climbing in good light, heat and humidity. 👍🏻

[@KimSol90]

Wow, your pothos looks amazing! haha the intro was quite fun! loved it. I have a pothos plant growing in LECA and on a plank, and I'm thrilled with the results. The leaves are getting HUGE and the plant is almost reaching the top of my ceiling. 😅

[@sam.2566]

I think roughing up the wooden plank definitely helped, more surface area for the water to cling onto when you spray them. I'm surprised at how fast it sized up and how close together the leaves are now! Very very interesting

[@lindaedwards4632]

The plant is sizing up beautifully 👍 The intro was hilarious 🤣🇨🇦

[@TechplantChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it, I spent too much time on it lmao

[@katiewilliams9273]

This is pricless 😂😂😂😂😂 i absolutely love the strong guy lifting weights

[@zwicknagel]

Jeff and you should top cut both plants to get bushier (as part of the competion!)

[@TechplantChannel]

Could be interesting to see how we each get the top cut rooted with minimal disturbance

[@drokta]

It's all about the light. I had a giant pothos chunk like 2 yrs ago had to cut multiple times got too tall now I have many. Everytime it gets close to the light the leaves blow up. Keep it up love the series, I grow along😂.

[@elloohno1349]

amazing. your videos are always so good. Ohh wow the leaves are turning so beautiful!

[@bakawaki]

those leaves are starting to grow HUGE! 😮

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah its really changing with heat

[@flodask8ing21]

Great video man! Keep up the great work

[@RuffTranslation]

So funny! Love the lifting weights, and the way you keep calling it a “hyperbolic time chamber.” I’m super impressed with how well it’s growing. I can’t wait to see you finalize your design for the grooves and modular plank system, too. My own pothos was growing 5” leaves and one of them was 3”, but I had to move it to a spot where it’s getting less light and the most recent leaf peeking out looks like it will be much smaller. Dang it! I might get one of those small grow lights for an individual plant and stick it in the pot.

[@joseapar]

Amazing intro! That pothos is getting a real work out! Really exciting to see this progress and the grooves in the boards seems like they are working amazingly well.

[@WhistleintheWind]

That opening was so funny!!! Great job.

[@sherryporsch9349]

It’s looking good Matt 😍

[@loriedmundson782]

Haha. Love your creativity and sense of humor. So fun!

[@SLee-vc9gd]

I'm very excited about your invention!! I want to try more climbing plants but I absolutely detest moss poles so I hope you can get yours into production soon, I'm ready to buy a set lol. Gorgeous leaves too!!💚✌🏽

[@lukki7ster]

Omg, i had to pause and laugh at 5 seconds in 😅. Love these updates!

[@ShayyButter]

hahah so cute the plant lifting its little pink dumbbells :p

[@hefoxed]

I think heat is rather more important to pothos then most realize I tried to grow pothos outside. I'm zone 10something, but in San Francisco where we rarely get above 70 (today's 76, very unusual!). It did not really grow outside at all -- it stayed alive tho. I've seen it in planters down town, but they probably just plant a big plant and leave it like that. My monstera is fine outside tho, and does grow. Need to figure out what to do now that it's reached the bottom of the second floor deck.

[@funkleroz3038]

mr pothos needs to do preacher curls too for more definition 🤪🤣

[@TechplantChannel]

I've seen too many bicep tear videos I'm afraid he will tear his arms off

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

dying at the intro 😂

[@LaiN900]

haha great intro Matty!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Those boards are genius

[@teuth]

hyperponic time chamber is the way lmao this is great

[@TechplantChannel]

Lmao

[@kathybarley8225]

Enjoying the competition!

[@TechplantChannel]

Happy to hear it!

[@fletchybabe6172]

Great video 😂

[@belizekaviar1263]

I grow them to a norway driftwood,and from top,dripsystem for humanity ❤

[@TheRipdub]

You should shoshugiban the wood, might help adhere and plants love charcoal

[@JustJ0nathan]

I’m not trying to be critical, but I feel like you and Jeff both are doing way more work than needed! I’m growing the exact same plant on a plank. I started off with a 7-foot cedar plank in a 10” pot (without chunky “aroid” soil) from the get-go. The plank doesn’t have any grooves, I don’t spray the plank, I don’t use a humidifier or any fancy grow lights, and I’ve only fertilized the plant once in the last three months. I’m getting better results than you and Jeff while doing next to nothing. I don’t even water often because I started off with such a large pot to begin with that it stays moist for weeks after I water. Of course, I don’t oversaturate the pot and I use my many years of experience growing plants to know when to stop watering. In my experience, the plant grows relatively straight on its own. It’s not perfect, but close. I think the key is using a plank that’s wide enough, so it gives the plant some wiggle room without it completely growing off the edge. My plank is 6.5” wide. Anyway, good luck to you both! Your plants look great.

[@sherryporsch9349]

Oh cedar is so expensive in the states. 18$ for a 4” x 6’.

[@JustJ0nathan]

@@sherryporsch9349 It’s worth the expense because it’s very resistant to rot. I paid $15 CDN for my 7-foot plank.

[@susanjohnson5824]

Fantastic

[@TechplantChannel]

Thank you so much 😀

[@youtubeaccount2429]

0:48 what is the white accumulation on the leaf? Is it harmful?

[@TheRipdub]

Have you tried just putting something on the nodes to make them think they're climbing?

[@Inverts4Introverts]

Im betting if you drilled small holes in the grooves it would hold more water. Just dont drill all the way through the planks and it will creat small cups. Especially if you drilled downward at a 45° angle. And it would give the roots more to hold on to.

[@larryting]

I like your method/prototype better. It seems more natural?

[@modee5166]

Looking like you might start getting some fenestrations before the next update!

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

Golden pothos variegation changes depending on its environment? I always thought it was just genetics?

[@TechplantChannel]

this seems like something that needs exploration, but i know ive watched golden pothos go green and vice versa now, so im really wondering good ways to trigger good varegation

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

@@TechplantChannel Yeah, but I always thought it was just stable paracytic achlorophyllic variegation instead of environmentally caused variegation. Like, I thought the golden pothos was more like the Pink princess, where the variegation came from whatever the cells are in the stem. I didn't realise Golden Pothos could purposely change it's variegation.

[@bobbiechinn9578]

I know with pothos its heat that actually makes the verigation

[@denisej.9936]

lol! 😂

[@Joey-vw1id]

I've been following this giant pothos series and it's growing really good. Question: Can pothos plants produce any flowers? I've always been curious about that! Have a wonderful day! Still waiting for the whole room terrarium 😂

[@TechplantChannel]

Yes they can! I think it would be pretty tough indoors tho
