# Hi! New plant mom here, this was my neon pothos when I got it in…

_Posted by Maddie on 2023-07-21_

Hi! New plant mom here, this was my neon pothos when I got it in March. Long story short I didn’t know anything at all about how to take care of a plant and leaves started falling off, and this is where it’s at today. It’s been repotted, and has slowly started growing new leaves. Any tips on keeping it alive and growing more leaves?

She looks beautiful! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

It does look amazing. I’ve had the same cutting for months now and it hasn’t shown any new growth at all. Any tips?

I got a cutting from a friend in Florida and transported it to Ohio back in March in a red solo cup of water and plastic wrap over it and when I got home I planted it in a small pot. It wasn’t until about 2 weeks ago it finally started getting new growth. They have their spurts and can be random.

It likes a shaded area outdoor
