    I have had my golden pothos for over 40 years now. I keep chopping it because it would take over everything if I didn't. Pothos are beautiful plants no matter which variety they are & I will always have mine too.👍😊

    I have a large pothos that has so many bare vines. I’ve thot about chopping up but I can’t bring myself to do it bc she’s so pretty lol I ended up just buying her, her own bar stool off the market place. When she touches the ground I chop her-just a few vines at a time so she doesn’t look bare. I chop the bare vines high and plan on potting them back in at some point.
    Loved your video! It was cool to see all those cutting.
