No repots. The last 3 months I have become plant savvy and acquired over 50 new plants. I gave this pothos a haircut a repot and went to a watering schedule. I did not know this plant could have variegation. For 7 years it has only ever been green. And I thought I just had “the plain green one” haha This is what can happen when you appreciate your plants. They provide you with gifts ❤️ ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/HVVE7cVZ6OKyPp83AZn2wWQ5g1yteMwxDtXFBc6zApk/B9Qiv-TXTAOgw3UhoW0wrg.webp?size=large) ## 6 comments ### Nunyabzwx commented on 2025-07-31 50 plants in 3 MONTHS?!! It sounds like me years ago 😂🙈🙈 now I'm trying to downsize. #### Bbgirl.plants replied on 2025-08-01 Aha yeaaaaaa it’s been so much fun 😂😂 ### happysoxdonkey commented on 2025-07-31 OMG your story is almost the same as mine. My pothos, Porthos, has been with me for maybe 10 years. He was always just green. When I became interested in indoor plants this past spring he got much better care and now he has variegation in several leaves. They have pretty golden streaks like yours! #### Bbgirl.plants replied on 2025-08-01 Ahhh I’m so happy! I’m just glad it’s not neglected anymore hahaha ### Mateja commented on 2025-08-03 As an ADHD girl, the 50 plants in 3 months is sending me. Thanks for sharing 😆 #### Bbgirl.plants replied on 2025-08-05 The ADHD is strong with me 😂 --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
