Also I have ordered the components for the mix that Al proposes. They should be here in a week or so. I hope to change these plants (and my others eventually too) to that mix.

Oh and you can trim the roots if you please. Any brown or dead looking roots should be trimmed off.

Untangling the vines won't stress them at all. It'll make for a easier repot.

Ive repotted Pothos in the winter with no issues so you should be fine.

And you can keep as many vines on your plants as you want.

Thanks jailashaw26. I will get these untangled today and probably do some trimming, then re-pot and root trim when I get my mix ingredients. I will update with pictures.

Looking forward to the update!

I hope you don't mind if I give you some suggestions about posting?

- It is better to keep one thread with the same title (even if it says part2). It gets confusing and even some answers are the same (e.g. soil recommendations), one doesn't have to jump back and forth from thread to thread.

- You can post all the plant photos in one thread, splitting it into few posts if necessary.

- It would be great if, having few plants, you numbered each plant (not each picture if posting few views of the same plant). It is much easier to refer to them that way rather than having to say 'plant in 4th photo is...

Very nice plants, and you are getting good advice...happy growing :)

rina - thank you, yes that makes sense. I tired to make only one post but I couldn't post more than a few photos, so made a part two.

How fun to see these on GardenWeb! I saw the ad on Craigslist. :) Looking forward to seeing the update!

Yes, there is a limit how many photos per post (I think it's 4), so you can make few posts. You know it's really not a big deal, just simpler - and easier too :)

Here is the Marble Queen un-tangled. It took me a while. I was very careful not to break leaves or vines. I cut one wine that seemed quite soft and was yellowing. The pot has grainy debris on the top of the dirt and on the edges of the pot. Almost like hard water deposits. Also some leaves almost look scalded.

It looks so pretty in the window like that.

It does look amazing in that window! I'd have nosy plant-munching cats all over that if I tried it, though.

It does look quite beautiful in that window. Is that going to be its new home? It should be!

Ive never seen such a big MarbleQueen!!! I tend to kill them for some odd reason. I have one now thats thriving so hopefully it will live and get as big as the beauty you have!!!

I can tell whoever had it before you wasnt giving it much light because some of the stems have lots of space between the leaves.

If it were my plant I would cut the elongated stems and propogate them. Then you could have new plants or you could put them back in with the mama plant. With the window you have it in it will grow fuller and the vines will grow back long with less space between the leaves in no time!!!

I love love getting a plant that is already a normal decorative size. It is so much more fun to get a mature full size plant that is ready to decorate on its own, rather than the little accents I so often buy that need to be in a group, or they look a little sad. LOL You got amazing pothos.

The plant is in my shed that we turned into an extra bedroom. It will stay there for now but can't be there in winter. I want to propagate the long vines that have no leaves in the middle. I have had poor luck propagating Marble Queen, they seem more delicate that regular Goldens. What I did with the other long golden was cut a few vines but some of the long ones I put in seed starting mix still attached to the mother plant. I also put one vine looped down into a jar of water (water from my fish tank which the plants love). I think I will do that with the MQ as well. That way I can hopefully get roots on a vine before I cut it. I know that really long vines can be harder to get roots.

I think this one really needed some good sunlight. I will leave her there for now and I should have my potting medium within a week or so. I will transplant her and then see about trying to propagate some of the vines while still attached. Maybe I should fertilize her now so she has more strength for when I repot? I know the better sunlight will help too.

No i wouldnt fertilize until after you repot and the plant is actively growing.

I repotted one of my pothos today and man on man it seemed to be all roots. I cut off about half the root ball and it finally fit in the pot!!!

I have always been afraid to trim roots, always being so careful not to break them. I guess trimming them is a good thing huh? I have learned that reading on this forum, and it makes sense. I know that trimming the upper part of a plant encourage new growth so it make sense that the roots are the same.

I was nervous my first time as well. But when I did it and the plant didn't die I figured I must have done something right and ive been trimming ever since lol
