# The very first plant that started my plant journey. Starting this…

_Posted by Angel Night on 2024-06-27_

The very first plant that started my plant journey. Starting this year on April, while going through recovery from two surgeries.

Kinda proud of myself for sticking to it, even though I have no clue on what the hell I’m doing. Lol

So nice well done. That is one of the best Pothos I’ve ever seen.

She’s gorgeous! I’m trying to keep my pothos thriving I’m first time plant parent sooo kinda frustrating cause it has gnats and I had repot her three times cause of wrong mix and too wet  
Praying she is going to be thriving in no time

#### Poison\_ivy replied on 2024-06-27

Hang in there. I sprinkle cinnamon on the top of the soil it is a natural fungicide and if there is no fungus you take the food supply for the gnats. Hope that helps google it if needed.

Also get a meter to test the soil. I got mine for pretty cheap of Amazon.

Honestly, I leave some of my Pothos outside, and they thrive beautifully. I live an area where it’s humid during the summer, so they love that. But they do need to be water a bit more.

Though I purposely repot all of my plants with clear pot, so I know if the soil is dry or not.

Oh! bonus tip, whenever it’s humid outside, I mist them with neem oil! Hope that helped. ☺️

#### JenJen replied on 2024-06-27

Neem oil is on my list next time thank you so much! Same as clear nursery pot… maybe that’s why hard to tell if need to water  
Thank you for advices!

#### Angel Night replied on 2024-06-27

Clear pot are honestly what helped when I used to overwater my plants lol. Sticky taps for the gnat. 🖤
