# Amazed at how large my Pothos get when it is in the ground and climbs…

Amazed at how large my Pothos get when it is in the ground and climbs the wall. The winter will likely kill it like it does every other year but it always comes back and starts over again!

Wow! I am interested to try this next year. How big was the plant when you first put it in the ground?

#### JJ replied on 2026-10-21

I think I just took some with roots off of my hanging Pothos and planted it. I’ve done that with so many plants just incase I would happen to kill the potted plants, I always have a backup. lol I’ve done this since my mom died and I inherited most of her plants and was having trouble with a few. It’s worked well. They thrive in the ground. Just don’t plant Pothos in full sun and I do cover her when we have a freeze but most of it dies and comes back in the spring.

You know I’ve been thinking about whether my tropicals will come back after winter if I put them in the ground. That’s pet awesome!! 🥰🥰

That’s awesome!!! I need to try this!!  
Have you had luck having it in a pot and it climbing on the wall outside?

#### JJ replied on 2026-10-27

Yes I put a small pot on this flower bed and it has taken over. Hard to see in the photo but it’s in that mix laying on its side. I believe it’s where some of the wall climbers came from.

What state are you in? I’m not sure if it would work in Michigan.
