Golden Pothos

I've had pothos growing for years, never watered them. With water the leaves have doubled in size and they have gone to 100% aerial roots, the second coolest thing to stilt roots.

I used to have bunch of ficus trees and I literally never watered the place. When I started replacing them with palms I had to start watering and immediately had problems with mineral buildup, the mulch was actually turning white, we have really hard water here.  So yes, all the plants are enjoying the RO water.  My only complaint is my filter produces about 50% brine, it pretty inefficient.

I have a the same problem with hard water, but here the water is too expensive to use with the garden.

I have a RO for my aquarium and i use the brine for water my Coccothrinax, Thrinax and Pseudophoenix.

I would think the brine would be okay as long as they get some rain.  Obviously my atrium gets no rainfall and I was afraid sooner or later my tap water would cause a problematic salt build up.  Plus, it looks a lot better without white mulch. You must be in a nice place to grow Psuedophoenix, I love'm but it's too cold here.

Golden pothos has naturalized around here. I'm not sure what the range is in Florida, but it is all over the Tampa Bay area. It gives a nice tropical look to whatever it is on so I kind of like it.

They do look great climbing trees with those huge leaves they attain when grown in the warm subtropics and tropics. My only issue with them is the extra weight and surface area that is added to a tree. Have seen many limbs and trees succumb during Tropical Cyclones.

Isn't Pseudophoenix sargentii one of hardier palms with a crownshaft? Saw some nice ones for sale at a nursery in the RGV.
