This is really an ideal posting forum. I hope it really catches on and puts the K-snake to shame! I post on other forums using this format, and I much prefer this one.

So, my simple question is this: In a fair fight between Pothos and Ficus pumila, which one strangles out which first? I mean, this is a no holds barred, who screams uncle first fight! Sorry, just a little posting humor!

A very funny question . My vote goes for pothos, as it seems to grow faster for me. I think it would also grow over the ficus, thus blocking the ficus' light source... and thats whne ficus would tap out .

Interesting post...

I think it would depend.... Which ever plant was able to get established first would probably win. A lot also depends on lighting.

I have some tanks where one of the other is winning.

I have a ficus in one of my tanks and noticed that one strand of it grew over 3" in about 3 days.I have a potho in another tank that has burrowed it's roots into my coco panel background and I have tried to reduce it without pulling the background off and have cut it is several places and it is growing in a bunch of different areas now,grrrrr.I didn't know it could grow like a epiphyic plant but this one is!!!!!

Pothos and Philodendrons love to be grown as epiphyites in our high humidity tanks, and their roots do grow all over the place... and thats why I tend to like them .
