Butler Gets a Trim
Jun/21/08 16:45
Many of you know Butler, our Jade and Marble Queen
Pothos. For the last 6 years Butler has grown to an
epic size along our ceiling, giving the impression
that one is living in a jungle. Well, due to the
length of his arms, Butler had dropped many of his
early leaves resulting in bare vines. In addition to
this, the rate of Nintendo Wii related accidents had
been climbing for a while. What does this all mean
you ask? It was time for Butler to get a trim. As you
can see below, we took a lot off the top. The tape
measure is 25' long, and his two longest branches
were easily twice that length. Yep, after years of
speculation, we can officially say that Butler's
longest arms were approximately 50' long. Not bad for
a Home Depot house plant. Butler is doing well still
and currently lives on one of our speakers in the
living room, but he's much more manageable now, and
playing Wii tennis just got a whole lot safer.
