r/pothos

I got this pothos plant a few years ago and it just… grows at such a crazy rate, I’ve repotted it over and over again (started as a tiny little thing), I keep taking cuttings but I don’t even have enough space for all its children anymore.

I have to keep it very high up inside my apartment to keep my cats from getting into it- currently on a bookshelf on top of a desk to keep it from reaching the floor.

I recently moved, and when I did originally my father put this plant outside on the balcony for a few days. I thought I might leave it out there but then the building made us take EVERYTHING off the balconies for … at least a month… during surprise construction (a whole saga of horrible on its own)

Anyways I climbed up there this week to water it and rearrange the vines as well as take another cutting (these vines are insanely long) and I see these horrid looking white … eggs? Please no. I’m terrified of spiders. Is it spider eggs?
(The other plant that got put outside grew some mold and a mushroom since but I was allowing that… the plant seems to be happy with the arrangement.. probably shouldn’t have)

- it really needs to be repotted again but also I cannot open that thing up inside if there’s spiders hatching I need to light it on fire (anything I can put in there that would kill the demons and not the plant?)

- I have a back injury so even repotting and moving this thing by myself is getting really hard - and I can’t put it outside!!! Whyyyyyy

Anyone know what this is if it’s not eggs or can tell me what to do 😭 I have the creepy crawlies now yikes

Hi I’m a little worried about this neon pothos, its leaves are a bit yellowish? But in a different way than the classic “ my leaves are dying “ yellow. I have a barrinna t40 on the widest setting about 3 feet away from it shining 8 hours a day. I have this exact setup for my other pothos and they are doing well ( marble and golden) it seems healthy, like the leaves aren’t crispy or anything like that. Just the color. Is this normal? Should I move it?

He was so happy before I left, and now he's like depressed or something. What do I do? 😭

I bought this neon pothos at Lowe’s in the clearance section. I usually try to get some and see if I can rehabilitate them. I noticed this different growth under the leaves. It’s in basically all of them, even the new ones. Does anyone know what it is?

Wanted to finally give an update on my new growth from a few weeks ago. Based on my count about 8 out of the 11 new axial buds actually did continue to grow! Albeit as of now the leaves are small and some are trying to off themselves with their all-white leaves lol. Hoping this plant becomes much bushier. I’ll likely cut some of them off (depending on how crowded they get) and prop it directly in the soil.

Some of the roots were too short, going to clean this up. However, as I was looking at this I thought, “Memories”. This represents memories to me. Some die off but some thrive.

Someone posted a list of pothos and similar climbing plants a while back and now I cant seem to stop trying to get my hands on rooted cuttings. Thankfully, these were relatively cheap. Shown here are carnivals, variegated cebu blue, albo, global, genie (which, it looks like a normal jade to me?!) and my white whale, the champ elysee! I will get pics of the mint. Mican, and brazil soon.

I do think I need to stop because there is only so much space in and out of my house once they start growing (my neons have grown so much that I need to put them in standard size pots in just a month), but I've barely checked the boxes off one page of the list. TT

Is it really that rare for old growth points to reactivate after a massive chop? I heard someone on this sub say that, but I recently cut back on my biggest pothos to get a bunch of cuttings in hopes of giving some tommy friends and use the rest to bushy up my own ones. But now he's activated like 4-5 old growth points, which I'm happy but also confused about, especially since I left it with a bunch of leaves so it shouldn't be lacking any.

I am propagating this pothos from one that died from root rot. Are these roots healthy and when are they ready to be potted?

Hello all!

I was wondering if I could get some help IDing this supposed Japanese Global pothos cultivar? The seller is selling this at $20/4” pot. Thank you in advance!!

I've had this marble queen pothos for years. I grew it from a propagation I was given. It's never really taken off, though.

Currently it's getting 12hrs every day of direct light from a grow light (this was not always the case, but it has been at this light level for something like 6 months. I've also tried 8hrs/day, and at my old apartment it just got sunlight through the window). I water it by completely saturating the soil when the soil is dry. I've given it a dose or two of liquid fertilizer which hasn't done anything. I honestly don't remember what the soil is, but probably a mixture of miracle gro and some sphagnum moss or coco coir.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Chopped my pothos several weeks ago after I looped it and rooted a new node. I think the OG stem got confused and all of a sudden it's now growing.... something... from like six nodes along the stem. Will these be leaves or a crazy number of new vines?

You guys might remember my last post with the marble dragon tail… well she’s down to her last cutting. The rest has absolutely died. I threw a picture in there so you can see how badly she’s doing. lol 💔

This one leaf started getting yellow spots and now is getting brown spots and I’m not really sure what’s going on. What could this be?
