The way you talked about your plants “this one could use a drink” is so cute 🥹🥹🪴🪴

I too used to judge the humble Golden pothos. Finally gave in and got a 16.98 Home Depot basket Oct ‘20 because I wanted a lplant to hang in my front window that had the ability to grow lushly Growing ~4ft in a year is no joke. Mine was just starting to trail over the side when I got it, now the longest vines are like three feet from the floor 🤣 it also has two strong vines of superrrrrr light/white splashy variegated leaves, so pretty. Giving my marble pothos a run for his money every day

[@rdred8693]

I did too. Broke down, bought one, now I'm addicted.

[@thesocialnerd]

Such a good, solid houseplant!! It's a good decor plant too bc it can look lush in a short time

[@nari8429]

I was gifted a long clipping of Golden Pothos by my sister in law! It's rooting really nicely in water and getting a bit more coloring. Thank you for the video!! I'm looking forward to it getting bigger and bigger.

[@1101naomi]

Before I became interested in growing plants I had one marble queen and I literally used just miracle grow potting mix from HD when I had to repot. I also I cut the roots with a knife to make the plant smaller so I could repot into the same pot. Lol. I cringe now when I think about it. BUT .... I’ve had her for 17 yrs now! They are resilient plants!

[@paulanoakes5358]

Yea, I have 4 cats and my little Emma snacked last night on my newly purchased Hoyas and peperomia sitting on my kitchen table. She loves her veggies 🤣 I just wouldn't get any plants that are toxic because I never know if she will eat it.

Hi Nick! I stumbled across your channel a few nights ago, and just wanted to tell you first, thst I am now an enthusuastic subscriber and second, I really enjoy your down to earth, great plant advice and tips! I have been a plant nut since my 20s,! But you have some good relevant info that is new to me! Im enjoying binging on all the videos I have missed, went right in to water my poor golden pothos after watching this latest one, it was def droopy! Great job!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Nick! I LOVE all of my pothos! I'm always looking for a variety that I don't have yet. This was another great, and fun, plant care video. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Cindykitten]

These plants are so much fun!

[@joshuarichards8065]

I think the possible reasons they haven't flowered since the 60's is because they aren't in their native growing climate with actual seasons and haven't grown tall enough as some plants, like the vanilla orchid for reference, will only flower after growing VERY tall.

[@NeonCicada]

True, and *E. aureum* has a genetic deficiency to gibberellin biosynthesis (EaGA3ox1) and GA-responsive floral meristems (EaLFY) -- _both genes need to be expressed for floral transition to occur; via. the transcriptional response to bioactive GAs and/or exogenous GA3_

[@joshuarichards8065]

@@NeonCicada what is interesting is it can still flower if given gibberellins (not sure how exactly) it will flower like a monstera deliciosa flower but smaller. Not surpising as pothos and monstera are closely related.

[@AwoooOga3503]

I'm having my hanging pot with the Humble Golden Pothos cuttings and they started to root. So excited to see her grow lush and long

[@ArthurGrey.]

Also, I think it's good to mention that lighting is a huge influence on the level of variegation for Epipremnum Aureum. In severely low light, they won't present any variegation at all or have small splashes every now and then. With strong light and proper watering, you can get highly variegated leaves, being a very vivid yellow rather than looking more off-coloured or just pale. Of course, genetics are also a factor but if you really want that bright yellow you see in photos, bump the light.

[@M_SC]

One of Mine wouldn’t even grow when I took it out of bright light, even though it still had a decent amount of light that other plants do fine in! I put it in a west window with tree cactus and it woke up. I have another in the shade and it refuses to die

[@instakillgaming]

the classic, mine's taking over and I'm so happy

[@qakvaralria5403]

Hi Nick! I really love your videos! The care instructions you provide for these plants are very full and clear. Someday if it’s possible I’d love a video on ludisia discolor! I was completely taken with it when I saw it in another of your videos. Hearing how you care for yours would be very nice!!

[@robinhavens695]

Great info, as always!!! 💚😻💚

[@teresaoneal5254]

Thanks for another great video. ♥♥♥

[@CJT5996]

Thank you. That was very helpful straightforward information.

[@sandrasealy7411]

Love pathos ❤️❤️❤️ so hearty and easy to propagate

[@e.MiLixx]

The one in terracotta is looking absolutely fantastic 🤯

[@par3433]

Did I need to watch a pothos care guide? No. Did I anyways? Heck ya I love me some Nick 🥰

[@ArthurGrey.]

As far as temps, Epipremnum Aureum and Pinnatum can both do well even if they're in 38F/3C, and I'm sure even a little colder. Of course they'll be very slow, but they will still continue to grow.

[@brawlives6996]

Cold tolerant plants are a must for me because of where I am - I'm really relieved to read this!

[@HenhousetheRed]

Pothos, the plant you can throw in your closet, forget to water it for a month or three. If you find it boring in its vining form, give it a moss pole to climb up and its leaves will get large like a monstera. If you find the golden variety to be boring, there are tons of different varieties. Marble Queen. Neon. Rio. Global Green. Manula. Pearls & Jade. NJoy. Jessenia.

[@bobsaylor1071]

Thanks for the help❤

[@komirtv1949]

Hey nick , thanks for sharing.🍿🔥🏆

[@judymckerrow6720]

I love pothos ❤️🌷💚🙃

[@craiglevy8144]

Nick's plants and most of the plants sold are the immature form. The mature form has much larger leaves with split sides and needs something to climb up and direct sun for the best leaves. Super impressive when you see them for the first time.

[@rukahazuki6650]

I used to hate golden pothos because they're everywhere around my house and grow on the wall of my house and fence. Now that I started gardening more than a year ago, I admire how resilient and hardy this pothos is. I tried growing them in water and pebbles and also just sand and both are thriving at my windowsill just beside of my right now.

[@joshuarichards8065]

Do they grow outside where you live?

[@rukahazuki6650]

@@joshuarichards8065 Yes. Both the wall and the fence that I said are outdoor. They grow just like weed around my house. The pothos that are growing on my wall are so big. Their leaves size are half of my torso now. Edit: I have 2 of them that I out it indoor. Both the one that I grow in water+ pebbles and just sand are indoor golden pothos. Not much growth for first few months but after I started using fertilizer few months ago, they're quite bushy now.

[@sandrasealy7411]

Great video🤩🤩🤩

[@cindyvan635]

Love Pothos💚🤗🌱💚

[@KyckOut]

Just bought the golden pothos and the marble queen today. Hoping for the best

[@peritapugnandi6624]

Thanks for this nice video! Isn‘t it the opposite way: Golden pothos is such a good and easy grower, so that it doesn‘t need to bloom? I heard someone say that. Seems more suitable to me. 😊

[@tristambre632]

I'm missing a neon pothos in my collection, probably my next purchase. I've been growing a regular one for years now, it's sitting on top of a bookshelf and it vines down to the floor :P

[@Romanasefa3]

Can you please do a video about how to control or get rid of pest / mold ? Thanks

[@Woken_Dreamer]

I just bought my 1st devils ivy today!!

[@johnkenny6197]

Just bought my first pathos today and thank God I came across your very informative and kinda funny video lol. I do have a question, the one I purchased has like idk weird dick looking vine things with nothing on them and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to inform me on those please when you have the time. Thank you, Kenny K.

[@MatthewLacrette]

I have grown these in substrate from topsoil, ground soil, to succulent soil.

[@Lorenmcdee]

My MIL gave me her golden pothos for free and it taught me so damn much.

[@heyxelfernandos4661]

I want to start to take care of an indoor plants but I dont know how to start and researching what kind will I take care. I am planning to put it in our sun room

[@thisguy1413]

Holy hell where has this channel been all my adult life. Lol

[@scottgalbreath5707]

Yes and over fertilizing can also cause the roots to burn.

[@MsRinda]

The theory I've read about pothos is they simply don't need to flower anymore. They're too successful. Flowering takes a lot of energy, and this plant is so prolific at this point that it'll propagate itself when branches break off from strong winds etc, so there's no reason for it to invest energy into flowers.

[@erinjoy5625]

I saw on another video someone had the massive pothos, growing up instead of vining down .... Would this be because they used one of those moss poles? The plant looked amazing the leaves were huge 😍, would love to try, as a new plant mom I'm not ready to try those big fancy kinds of plants yet so I'd like to stick with the pothos

[@lorib5323]

veteran plant lover here, yes, get that moss pole and get those HUGE leaves going! So much fun! I have several!

[@erinjoy5625]

@@lorib5323 ok, great thank you so much !! It's deff my NXT goal

[@badflwrr]

your mannerisms are so cute; thanks for the info. gonna try these tips on my new plant.

[@grandexandi]

The pothos we grow in our homes is a very tame version of its full potential. Pothos is a strangling plant, if you plant it on the ground next to a tree, it will climb the tree, grow two-foot wide leaves, and it can strangle the tree, if given enough time. It can be exposed to full sunlight if it has enough water and it can actually grow fully submerged, making for a great aquarium plant as well! It really is the easiest, hardiest and most versatile plant in the world!

[@janainacassolidacruz1285]

I am having a problem whit my snow queen phothos, won't grow os the same size since I bought 8 months ago, do you have any tricks to help me? Love your channel. 🇮🇪

[@lunamaxwell6190]

Give it some indirect sunlight (away from windows). No direct sunlight. Maybe cutting some clippings might shock it into growing. I use fertilizer all year round, since they keep growing. I have tried these tips with great success for my Pothos, Cebu Blue, Philodendron and Scindapsus. I hope this helps.

[@janainacassolidacruz1285]

@@lunamaxwell6190 I'm going to try it thanks Luna

Had a full plant, propagated and all of the ones propagating in water are rotting. The ends are black and mushy. It's so weird. I keep trimming the ends off more and more. I've never had this happen!

I love them, but mine keep dying. Help. I'm buying a new one.

Put perlite and optional an orchid bark coz this doesn't like compacted soil. Water only when dry. Less fertilization and give lights. Do not touch ur plants so often. Goodluck
