I just purchased one today and I'm honestly kicking myself for planting 3 star jasmine along where I could've just planted one of these bad boys!
Parent context: question-does it damage the fence at all? i was considering starting some along a fence line to cover up my neighbor’s dog 💩smell- but it’s my neighbors fence and i didn’t want it to end up getting damaged (more than it already is) Reply: For reference, her fence was a white wooden fence and it held up with the weight and pressure of the vine.
As a letter carrier and a gardener, I love the jasmine and would be so happy to see it so long as it doesn't get out of control.
It’s so pretty and smells so good when it blooms. A few years ago I was able to grow some from seeds from that house and have a whole new one starting along the fence
Star jasmine has taken over my mailbox. Love that smell.

AI summary — not a quote
Pothos is widely celebrated as an exceptionally hardy and "immortal" trailing plant, favored for its ability to thrive under neglect and its ease of propagation. While it is a staple for beginner houseplant owners, it is also highly valued in the aquarium hobby for its ability to provide natural water filtration through its root system. However, opinions are occasionally mixed regarding its growth habits, as some users struggle with small leaf size or find that the plant "hates" them despite its reputation for being indestructible.
Pros
- Extremely resilient and hard to kill; often described as surviving long periods of neglect or "depressive bouts."
- Very easy to propagate from cuttings in water, making it easy to share with others.
- Highly versatile; grows well in soil, glass jars with water, or as a hydroponic filter in aquariums.
- Fast-growing trailing vines that can reach lengths of 6-8 feet in home environments.
Cons
- Toxic to cats if they chew on the leaves.
- Leaves will rot if submerged in water; only the roots should be underwater in aquatic setups.
- Can produce small, stunted leaves even when provided with direct sun and care.

Parent context: What would pothos do to the wall or any other surface? Reply: I still have big holes on my walls from a rouge pathos.
Mourning dove laid eggs in my pothos pot.
Pothos are such terrific plants. There's lots of varieties but you can't really go wrong with golden for the combination of easy care, fast growth, interesting markings... and you can get one almost anywhere that sells plants, lol.
was just admiring how well these propagated/recently potted pothos cuttings have been doing under my bathroom skylight, and this is all I could think of haha.
Ours is loving life up on top of this shelf with all of its vines secured along the tops of the windows. I’m 27 and although we aren’t exactly sure, it’s probably almost my age!
