Morning Tkaz. How do you plan on making your Pothos bushy? What made you decide to change shape? You know, Tkaz, Pothos cuttings are fast-rooting. Why not take a few cuttings, root, then grow one upright and one bushy?? Is your Iguana male or female? You'd know if it's female..my son's first Iguana laid, at the minimum, 74 eggs one spring..They resemble marshmellows...lol She was free to roam the room, but not the entire house. Most rooms have plants--plants and reptiles don't mix, and I feared she would have climbed bird cages, then knocked them down. She managed to escape the room, like a Houdini routine, lol, climbed on the cages a few times. If I hadn't been around, cages would have fell and birds....... Iggy, 'son's iguana,' was so tiny when Michael brought him home. Little larger than my hand. He's now over 5' and very heavy..Freddy Krueger nails dig in my skin when I attempt lifting him. What does your Iguana eat? Tiger Barbs are very pretty..they prefer being in groups of five..they become agressive when there's less than 5 Barbs and start chewing fins. Maybe your Barb is seeking a mate? Ever breed fish? It's a bit of work, especially egg-layers, but once the eggs hatch, what a sight! When you shape your Pothos, and have time, please post a picture..Toni

HA! During WWI, for the war effort, my great great great grandmother would get permission to cordon off short sections of paved streets, on which she scattered rubber bands of varying diameter. Under her miraculous care, within days the rubber bands grew into trees so laden with tires for various types of military vehicles that often she and the neighbors couldn't harvest them all before they became larger than intended; this, necessitating that they be trimmed back to a usable size. She would then have the trimmings ground into powder, which she mixed with white milk. When the slurry of rubber and milk was heated under pressure in small molds (like sinker molds or toy soldier molds, if you've ever made either from lead), the result was Ficus elastica seeds which were sold to tree farmers all over the world and served as the propagules for essentially every rubber tree plantation currently in existence. I sure do miss that lovely and determined old gal. ....... at her 100th in 1966: She sure was something. Sad that we have to wait until next summer to see her again. Michelin has kept her so busy at headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, France for the last 49 years, she hasn't been able to get back to the states to see ANY of her great, great, great, great grandchildren. Fortunately for us, her employer is picking up all expenses and footing the bill for her bash back in the states. Keep your eyes peeled for pictures. Al

Most likely the plants have scale. Look for small tan ovals on the undersides of the leaves, perhaps along the midvein.

Let's see a close-up of the 'spots'. Sounds like it might be a case of scale. The sticky material might be honeydew, their excreta. It's also possible there might be sooty mold growing on the honeydew. Al
