    congrats!! is there a window nearby? pothos can live in low light for a little bit but will really thrive next to a bright window 😊

    Nearby means can the plant see the sky? Otherwise, the light is insufficient. πŸ’š

    "the plant can see the sky" is such a helpful (and cute) way to think of this!!

    Please send an update in a year if you think of it! A friend gave me my first plant a year ago, I didn't have a ton of interest at the time but now I have a TON of plants

    Might not want to place it near a door. Also, they Like a little light. Nice one though!

    Is there any sunlight nearby?

    I have pothos too. Such lovely plants!

    Looks like you have two other plants in there, maybe avocado that are not doing so well. The pothos looks fine but the others need water and more light.

    Oh wow you know your stuff- yes my dad who lived with me briefly brought those avocado trees in which were looking sad, thus led me to dress it up a little lol. Sunlight it is. Thank you!

    I'm 37 too and I can't wait for my first place to myself or at least one where it's just me and a friend or family.

    It needs to be no father away than a maximum distance of 3 feet from a bright window. It'll die where it is here.

    I too am 36 and this is when I bought my first houseplant. Heart-leaf Philodendron πŸ’š

    I rotate some of my plants from low light areas to higher indirect sun areas every month, then back the next month, they do fine that way.
