We have had the pothos plants for 2 years and Barb is gone a year. In late 2016, Barb gifted me with a variety of plants to cheer me up in recovery from surgery and the pothos plants took over in every good way,
Time to share her spirit
if you don't know of Barb here is the blog story about her.
if you do, here is refresher.

| LIAM WITH HIS AUNT BARB BABY |
the pothos had grown long and leggy
in fact each pothos had vines about ten feet long...one had ascended up the stairway railing and the other curled around the AC wire and its vines along the floor had rooted and crawled in back of the couch.
what are they?
here is a wiki description
We were happily in a botanical garden of pothos
until I decided we had to have Stanley Steemer to clean the couches and rugs. The two pothos plants had to be removed for the cleaning. We moved each pothos to the back room and laid them on the table

| TWO POTHOS WITH THEIR LENGTHY VINES |
It took a while to get them up and out to the back room.
I had never done cuttings. I sought advice online
from Pinterest
and from my two plant whisperer friends
they had successfully propagated cuttings and were incredibly helpful and generous with their time.
As Stanley Steeemer steamed and cleaned, I cut. The Steemer assistant joined me and advised. He told me he has grown many plants from cuttings and he loves to do it.
He took home a bag of extensions for his help on the plants and a monetary tip for his rug/couch efforts
