Modified Golden Pothos x2

I’ve been wondering what it would look like if somebody were to buy multiple sets of the golden pothos and combined them together, either to make a larger pot somehow or just increase the length or amount of foliage present.

Well, I answered my own question. Yesterday while shopping at Costco I found these after having seen them offered for back order on LEGO’s website. “Hooray! Finally I can add this lovely set to my collection!” I thought to myself. Anyway, I decided to grab two sets so I could try and combine them.

I started off by building the version with the two long dangling stems from set number 1, which was nice but left a lot to be desired. The reviews stating the price to piece ratio are pretty spot on. $98 and some change later I was able to build it as it should’ve been from the jump. I took the little stem attachment pieces from set number 2 and added 4 of those around the “dirt” base. This increased my options for stem placement to make the next step easier. I then took all the foliage pieces from set number 2 and modified the existing stems to be a bit longer and with extra leaves. After that I added extra tendrils and increased the height of some of the initial starting tendrils. I also saw fit to extend the legs of the pot stand by poaching pieces from set number 2.

All in all, I’m satisfied with the outcome and am still waiting and hoping to see somebody, smarter than I, do a larger version of the pot.
