Marble Queen Pothos - how much light?
Comments (26)Lennie...sounds like fun. Are you saying all campgrounds are off limits now? Sheesh! We used to go camping every weekend..we found an 'unknown,' secluded area to set up our little tents. :) The area resembled an island..we named it Cujo Island, after our dog who loved swimming in the Des Plaines/ Kankakee River and play with the beavers in Channahon, IL. We had so much fun. I made breakfast, lunch and dinner on a 1.99 metal grill. Couldn'd do it anymore though. The meals were delicious. We used old wood, not coal brisquits or gas. We do not hunt in the literal sense, but we used to hunt for wildlife..to look at...not harm..sorry. :) Lennie, I have relatives in MI. As a child, we'd visit my aunt, uncle and cousins in Allegan, MI..Ever hear of Allegan? They had a beautiful farm. Think I was 4 or 5 when we first started visiting, that I remember..I also think, browsing large fields of greens initially got me hooked on plants. lol I remember standing in one field w/zillions of berries. I snuck inside, awestruck. Anyway, MI is a beautiful state. Well, at least cities, 'I remember Kalamazoo,' not too far from my aunt and uncles farm. Don't know if it's changed. My aunt and uncle passed away several years ago, but cousins remain in MI. When my uncle was diagnosed with cancer, they sold the farm, then rented. She once confessed how much she missed the farm. Sorry, talk about ranting. lol. Funny, we went from Pothos, to camping to MI. You're lucky you get to travel. Toni...See MoreFinding Nice, Small Costa Farms Plants for Sale
Comments (34)Hey junco: Bright light is best, but it will do fine with medium light. It should be a slower-growing variety, so pruning shouldn't be much of a factor -- unless you want to manicure/shape it to do a certain thing or look a certain way. You can prune at any time of the year without worry. Hey hottina44: Costa Farms is based in Miami, Florida, but we're a wholesale grower that ships to retailers throughout the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc. We do sell into stores in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Comments (19)TY for the link. Are there other such discussions/articles out there? I'm not seeing a significant difference in the leaves in the pics in the linked article. They just look bigger, but without a scale object in the pics, I can't be sure it's not my eyes just seeing what the article says they should. I also don't feel like the article gives enough info to attribute any difference purely to age vs. other possible differences like lighting & fertility. If cultivars don't maintain a stable appearance, I've completely missed seeing that mentioned anywhere before. This is the first I've heard of this mentioned at all in regard to this plant. And why would this one particular cultivar be more likely to change? Not that I'm a 'phile about Aralias/Scheffs, but if "false Aralia cultivars changing leaf shape" was a "thing," I'm totally surprised I haven't encountered it being mentioned before, and definitely want to know more. The just-linked article, about the straight species as far as I can tell, left me with the impression that it would not be something that would happen to a potted plant at all. "This delicate appearance – even in the more mature plants – can be prolonged through maintenance of it in constant, bright shade." It seems more likely that a potted Pothos will reach a mature ontological age and make giant, split leaves than a potted false Aralia changing leaf shape, from the evidence here so far. I don't get to stores with plants often, but AFAIK, these are only sold as *tiny* individuals, making this a discussion about something that *could* happen decades from now. All that said, if it is a thing about which one is aware, and the prospect of such a change is not desired, why buy one? And wasn't it a very inexpensive purchase? Assuming it does this changing thing in ...?... 20-40 yrs, won't you probably be in love with it no matter what it does? I'm glad my boss is at large elsewhere today, this is quite the interesting discussion!...See MoreWhen you bring home brand new houseplants
Comments (18)It certainly looks like Manjula. It is less about the color and morea bout the leaf shape to me. Manjual leaves are kinds of curly or curvy and more round or heart shape. PnJ are not curly and have a more pointy tip. You can go on the Costa Farms website and it describes them and has a photos (not a very close one). We had a discussion on here (I will try to find the thread) where we were talking about the differences between Manjula, Pearls N Jade, Glacier and N'Joy. Justin from Costa Famrs gave a nice description of each of them. Costa Farms (exotic angel plants) grows Manjula, Pearls and Jade and Glacier but not N' Joy. Here is one thread where we discuss the differences of the plants. I will tr to find the other thread where Justin gives a written descriptions.
