The plant was in her brother’s apartment after he died in 1989 and she’s kept it as a memory of him since.

Full disclosure my daughter did most of the watering and spraying. So proud of her.

    Pothoses are pretty resilient and easy to propagate if even a small part of them is still alive. Glad yours is bouncing back. One of mine is from a cutting from my grandmother’s pothos. Hers doesn’t have any sentimental value, but I laugh because I know she most likely prop-lifted it from Lowes or Walmart or somewhere 😀

      My mom has several offshoots of it around her house. Before she moved last year they took up nearly an entire wall in her house. She gave them away to friends just in case the ones she brought didn’t survive the move halfway across the country. But this one is basically plant zero, so even though they say they are nearly impossible to kill, I’ve been known to have the worst luck with plants.

        The mother plant is always special. Even with a black thumb they’re usually pretty easy to care for. Here’s hoping it lives another 37 years.

        Same boat here brother. I love the vining plants but somehow they never seem to last for me.
