Pothos Substitute

[jandb]

I love pothos but does anybody recommend any good substitutes to use in the same way? I’d like to switch it up some.

I also use papyrus (aka umbrella palm) in planted sumps, and in tanks. I believe it works better than pathos, because it is actually a plant the lives partially submerged in water.

Check out the video. Forward a little and you’ll see the emersed plants.

Spider plants require a lot of oxygen on their roots (need to be in filter outflow), and if your nitrogen falls too low for too long, they die. Coleous are a little tougher not much. (personal experience.)
