golden pothos: immortal (almost)

the case for pothos

i have forgotten this plant for three weeks straight. i have watered it with leftover sparkling water (don't). i once knocked it off a shelf and repotted it with kitchen spoons. it has responded to all of this by growing another meter.

the one point off

it's not a 10 because it will dramatically droop the second it's thirsty — which sounds useful until you realize it does the same thing when it's overwatered. learn the difference: dry soil + droop = thirsty. wet soil + droop = back off.

who it's for

everyone. literally everyone. if you've killed plants before, start here. if this one dies, the problem is the spot, not you — move it and try again.
