Whoever said succulents were not challenging to grow lied. I’ve killed everyone I’ve at any point possessed. So, each charming, little terrarium unavoidably transforms into a dried-up graveyard that confirms my clumsiness to keep up the most “low-upkeep” species around. Indeed, even love couldn’t support the little echeveria that wilted into a sorry-looking wreck.
The absence of plant-growing achievement would be far seriously humiliating if not for the one plant that can, to some degree, approve my housekeeping abilities.
My cherished Golden Pothos Plant has the perfect survivor abilities comparable to any other plants I have ever tried to possess.
I purchased Golden Pothos Plant five years prior in a festival on a whim. That is long ago when twerking was the most dubious thing on TV.
I calculated my festival checkout line plant might endure one winter in my postage-stamp-sized apartment. Fast forward five years and three moves; it’s kicking. Actually, no, not kicking – flourishing. What’s more, presently, I’m tied in with getting green thumb-less people on the Golden Pothos Plant train.
The connection to this fundamental level plant is genuine. It’s suffered vacation initiated disregard, close to no watering, one summer with my companion’s similarly plant-challenged mother, and the Hearst Tower’s fluorescent office lights.
In any event, sharing an edge of a confined kitchen (more modest than my tiny apartment, mind you) with my flatmate’s overripe bananas never really prevent this plant from figuring out how to endure. Nothing. Zippo.
If you have abandoned houseplants permanently and decline to trust me, at that point, know this: Epipremnum aureum likewise passes by the name devil’s ivy since it’s impenetrable to death. But, on the other hand, a real sense stays green regardless of whether you put it in obscurity — science says as much.
