    I have three silent plant killers. One is a tuxedo named Knuckles, one is all black named Crammy, and one is a cinnamon tabby named Tiger. They've snuffed a good dozen over the years.

    Inspired by this I just googled the effects of air freshners and perfumes on plants. I found a 20 year old study that says, yep, plants don't like whiffy sprays. The "same air freshener [was sprayed] at different distances, i.e., 30, 60 and 90 cm. from the tip of the plant. Results showed that there was a significant decrease in the chlorophyll and protein content of plants exposed at different distances."

ALSO, it’s so small it’s in a medicine shot glass , so i repot when the vines get longer or when its roots develop more? it has the tiniest root.

      My golden pothos is less than a metre from my bananas. I buy organic which have a waxy paper on the stem and they ripen much slower. I wonder if that’s the difference. I just moved a little succulent bc the pothos is taking over the area. I also replaced my pot lights with grow bulbs, which would also make a big difference.
