Should it stay or should it go

[yardy]

I got this plant a year or so ago, I didn't have anywhere to put it so I stuck it in a corner of my bathroom.

I grew so much that I try my best to lift it and use some sort of branches to keep it in place [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img] .
Now seems as if it's getting out of controll again, my girfriend came by Saturday, told me I have wild bush in my bathroom [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]
and I must put it in the garbage, because it, takes away the taste from my bathroom [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img]

Look at the pictures and the location where it's at and tell me if I must get rid of it

Nah...dont get rid of it...just trim it back. Those plants do well when you cut them back...

Re: Should it stay or should it go

It is fine. Trim any individual vine back to a comfortable length for you, making sure you cut it just above a leaf. It will continue to bush out. You can train them to go where you want., too. Please remember that plants help to clean the air. Also, visually, they help to soften all of the hard surfaces of a bathroom. I think it looked as though it might need a little bigger pot, though, and perhaps some fresh soil. Just use potting soil, gently caressing some of the older stuff away, adn repor in new. Give it a thin layer of new at the top. That plant is tough, so feel free to give it a shower now and then to keep it clean and shiny, too. The humidity of a bath is also good for it.

Oh, by the way, it is a Golden Pothos, and vines naturally. No need for staking. cutting individual tendrils back will help to encourage bushiness at the pot.
