Cute! One tip is that your babies in terracotta pots will dry out more quickly than the baby in porcelain or glazed pot, by design. So don’t be surprised if they need water on different schedules.

Thank you! Great advice!

pothos are very very simple plants, great starters. they can take low or high light, you can stake them or don't, they grow pretty much year-round. they're also very drought tolerant, so being a few days late won't kill them. they probably won't even notice. that's a gorgeous manjula in the second pic, btw. wish mine was that big when i got it!

Yay thank you! I did a lot of research to start and succeed. I love the manjula she’s stunning!

My manjula tends to be a slower grower than my regular golden so don’t be too alarmed! I agree that they are pretty easy, climbing or trailing it doesn’t really matter, either way they are great plants!

Good warning to know! Thank you!!

I agree my manjula grows quite a bit slower than all the other types I have.

Np!! I know this plant 🪴 Mom stuff can be tricky!! I’ve been at it for about two and a half months so I’m just starting to get the hang of out and c I find I learn the most in groups especially this one in the app!!
