Hi! I’ve never taken care of a pothos before, and I’ve developed an interest in them. Two questions: 1. Should I order seeds or pick up a plant? 2. Could I order online or do I have to find a plant store? Thank you!!!

You can totally order plants online, just be mindful it’s like anything else you can look for on there some sellers are more reputable then others, personally I read the reviews and look up the company before making my online purchases to make sure I’m not 1. Wasting money and 2. I know my plants were taken care of before being sent to me.

Your second question is totally personal preference, I like to cut and prop over seeding a new plant or spending money on one and especially if you’re already shopping around garden stores it helps they always have cuttings on the floor 😂

Or if you know anybody who has a nice Pothos plant, you could just take a couple cuttings and start propagating. That’s how I started my first plant luck have fun.🤍🪴

I personally like getting my pothos from the stores. I've gotten a few from Lowe's, which is a pretty cheap place, I think. But you can always buy a normal pothos, and propogate by planting the cuttings if you would like to watch a pothos grow. 🤠👍
