I got my first Jade Pothos today. Her name is Patty🌱. I used to have a Golden pothos named Sunny (she died in my move last year, may she rest in plant peace). Planning on keeping Patty in my balcony garden because I have two cats and she is poisonous to cats! Any tips on what hanging pot to get. I usually do terracotta pots because they are easy to find and are predictable but i’ve seen some people on here say to get a bottom watering pot. Any advice for her to thrive on my balcony is appreciated! The balcony is a wrap around one so it has both full sun, partial sun and full shade areas, where should I hang her?

i've seen pothos survive in any kind of conditions, plastic is working just fine for my golden. i'd hang it just in what it came in 🤷‍♂️ beware that pothos have thinner leaves, so sunburn is definitely a worry. i don't recommend full sun. partial sun is great for them, they love it! i've seen them do pretty good in shade too. they're really an everything plant loll

I have self watering pots (plastic), and my pathos loves it.
