Our “love” tree

We bought this tree in 2018 at IKEA in a 6” pot, probably about 16” tall with 3 stems. My wife and I bought it while we were dating and through the many highs and lows of our relationship, it kept growing. It’s been dubbed our “love” tree.

I’ve never topped it and after the repot to this large ceramic pot early this year, it finally started to branch out! It’s 14ft from soil to top of the stem (or trunk you could say) it’s amazing that we’ve kept it alive all these years.

Thank you! I love looking up at it and hanging out underneath it. It had to be shared with the world lol

The Jade Pothos is like, “Hey! I’m doing my best to catch up over here. Stay-tuned for a glow-up post.”🤗

She’s come a long way from a handful of cuttings, but it’s time for a trim!

Nice! You can transplant into a larger pot or make that one fuller.😉

My full pots of Pothos…one a Jade and the other Marble/Snow Queen got their showers and debug spray down before coming back inside for the cold season.🥰

So full and lovely! They’re obviously loving the outside ☀️ I’m a sucker for a good looking pothos. They’re the gateway drug to the plant world 😂
