    hi, does anyone in the East Rand know where i can find pothos plant?

    Went to Hackit and they didnt have, said that they will get stock in this week, but went to go look at the plant the guy mentioned, on google, and it was not pothos...

    Want a fast growing plant to shove into my hob filter to chow nitrates.

    They're blacklisted in SA, you'll battle to find them in retailers, Your best bet is to find one in someone's home. I think I had them years ago as houseplants, didn't know about nitrates and the role they could play back then.

    Lots of plants will work, if you create the right environment for them, that's how aquaculture works. You'll need plenty of light to grow tomatoes indoors. The beauty of pothos is that's a very undemanding plant and you won't need to create a special environment for it.

    No... that's a syngonium or arrow head plant

    Pothos were sold at nurseries as a house plant not so long ago
