Great read!Having seen and grown what I thought were some epic pothos plants, turns out I actually had no idea:
This Isn't Even My Final Form! A Pothos Story — In Defense of Plants
In Defense of Plants' Matt Candeias introduces us to the truth behind some of our most beloved types of houseplants, the pothos vines.www.indefenseofplants.com
These are my "pothos" , i go nowhere without them.

Thanks bud!
2 pictures , 2 pots, 2 different rooms ceilings.
Those are not very long compared to one of them before it almost died. Its a bunch of 20 foot vines. One of them used to have a couple 40 foot vines but it was not as full as these two.

The pothos room there is insanely cool. So many ideas ...
My little family hand statue is outside yes sir - near some of my other things. I wanted them to throw a fireball of plants into this section I made.. Not finished yet everything grows in very slowly

The room is too small to get all of it in one shot, but here's my current epic pothos. The longest vines are probably in the 20-30 ft range, just keep coiling them around...

My friends, lol... I am quite jealous now. Mine is so tiny and maybe dead. LOL
How can I get a better variety like one of you? Are there different types? Any colorful ones?
I am still building my Begonia Battlefield... But now I may include some Pathways of Pothos...

My mini pineapple does not like peat. Keep that in mind if u guys ever get one. Maybe a Cactus mix would be better. I will see if we can get them to grow together but the Pineapple seems to like water directly to it's fruit where cannabis likes in the roots. Challenge accepted! It is looking rough though...

There are different varieties but all the ones I've seen are in the marbled green/yellow/white range. The leaves tend to be more white if they are exposed to bright light, more green in low light. Don't give up on yours, they are seriously hard to kill and easy to bring back from the brink of death.
I'm in zone 7 so I'm seriously jealous of your situation as well. Would be nice to grow succulents and pineapple outside, in mid January no less!

Chemical composition of Sphagnum Cristatum (analysis ratio 1: 1.5 water to moss grass)
pH: 4.8
EC: 0.2 mS / cm
Nitrate N: 1.0 mg / L
Ammonium N: 3.0 mg / L
Phosphorus: 2.0 mg / L
Sulfur: 4.0 mg / L
Potassium: 16.0 mg / L
Calcium: 1.0 mg / L
Magnesium: 1.0 mg / L
Sodium: 17.0 mg / L
I have read 20 different sources and got 20 different ph's. All for the most widely used potting mix on earth!
Im going to step away and call the ph of all peat moss "low" (from fresh and growing to dead bogs)
Thats just too low for most houseplants. no wonder it took so long for the dark lord to start taking in nutes and growing.
My orchid mix will be live peat and maybe a spoon or 2 of ewc.

This is a great breakdown ; I appreciate it. This is of the medium that the Dark Lord came in?
Peat moss is more acidic and also as it breaks down acidifies even further locking out some key nutrition so you are correct
For microgreens and such it is wonderful - It is actually why I bought my sunshine mix #4. I liked that mix so much I ammended it with some things and use it for a couple mother plants

A picture update of your magnificent Dark Lord would be appreciated - Still quite envious of this plant here. I just took the Pothos out into my blue room going to do some cleaning up
