What's up everyone? Welcome back to the podcast. Today we're talking about how to make

a pathos plant fuller or busier. A lot of people really love the trailing or

vining aspect of a path, but then equally some other people love the fact that they look like huge bushes

full of large leaves and just very, very vibrant vigorous growth.

So whichever way you like it, there's a way to make your plant grow that way and all it really takes is just a little bit of plant knowledge.

So the first thing, we're going to go over five tips here. The first thing to look at is proper pruning techniques.

If you're caring for a pathos plant for a long time

or you have it for a long time,

oftentimes you will not care for it perfectly throughout its entire one, two, three years, right?

And so the first thing to look at is properly pruning the plant.

It's very similar to how you would prune any other plant that you want to

bush up, let's say a basil, for example. So what you'll want to do is look for vines that the

distance between leaf nodes really starts to stretch out.

And that's an indication that the plant wants to reach more towards the light

and it's just not getting those growing requirements.

So what you can do here is you can go ahead and prune some of these straggly looking vines.

It's going to make the plant look a little bit more compact,

but it's also going to bush it out because you can get a split growth right similar to how like a

basal might grow and so what I'd like to do here is I like to prune just after a leaf node, not before.

Because if you prune before,

you're just leaving a bit of bare stem

where nothing's going to grow.
