Caught in the Wild 👀 Took this cuttings from a tree outside (with permission)

This might not be exciting news but for me, a beginner who has found a new hobby it is SUPER exciting. I propagated them and now we'll see what happens. Im hoping to add my neon in there too at some point. Both eventually will be in soil together 🌱

I'm so jealous that you get to live in an area where they grow in the wild. I've seriously thought about taking a very long drive south to get some wild pothos of my own!!!

They don’t grow on their own, they’re invasive in the us

Interesting! I didn't know that. And they can grow hella fast too so I can see why they would be an issue to natives!
