My pothos that was gifted to me by my grandmother as a child (so I have no idea how old it actually is, for all I know it could be older than me!) This plant survived years in a plastic water bottle before I knew how to properly care for it, no water changes, barely any sunlight, and a literal coating of dust on the leaves. Only in recent years have I actually started nursing her back to health. She has a fancy new glass vase (goodbye plastic bottle), has regrown healthy and strong roots, and has grown multiple new leaves! I even took her to uni with me this year! She may not look like much, but after everything she’s been through this is probably my most impressive plant. I love you my little pothos, I hope to be a better plant parent to you from now on, and here’s to hopefully many more years to come! :)
