On February 2021 I visited my parents while I was still living in Germany and got back with a baby Pothos sapling from my mum. She loves Pothos and they spread all around the house – especially in little hidden corners.
It had one root and perhaps 5-6 leaves.🍃 Literally a baby.
I found the perfect place by the window since Munich is not that sunny like Spain, and it was still winter. It thrived and bloomed.
I soon realised Pothos grow wildly! You need to constantly groom and elevate them to a higher shelf or stand. New stems were appearing here and there and the most beautiful part is that some leaves had white swirly patterns because they were getting more sun than anticipated.
We moved to a new place in Munich and of course I had to elevate it. It was a bit waterfall by then…
Around that time we did a long trip to the USA and our plant sitter overwatered pretty much all the plants, so my then toddler Pothos suffered a bit of damage so when I decided to repot it I merged 2 small saplings together with the mother plant.
Fast forward to today, this baby Pothos is the star of the show in my office.
It often gets a shout out from my colleagues when we do video calls. I mean, look at it! It’s so bushy and lust!! And I barely give it fertiliser so… well, I guess nurturing with love seems enough.
From mum to daughter, that’s the story of my beautiful Pothos.
