One plant which does find a spot in my home while up high is my prized Philodendron plants. I purchased one when we first moved into the house and have since produced more plants by clippings placed in water to root.
I will call this a Pothos from now on since this little bit of knowledge from Tina. I wonder if I should go PHILLY OR BUST, Or just stay, In the Garden...
Our Master Gardener here at In the Garden, Tina, stopped by for a visit just before Christmas last year. That is when I found out that the Phillys I have in the house are not Phillys but Pothos instead!
I have never heard of Pothos in my life until this news to my ears! Tina had such a giggle out of me calling them Philodendrons. She had to convince me as I was not buying the joke she was playing on me. Or was it a joke? No joke but a mistake that I am sure many of us make. I did a search on the Internet and found one place which says the Golden Pothos is the Scientific name for the Philodendron. I searched more and became totally confused as many seem to refer to the Philly as a Pothos and vise versa. Too much confusion for me that I gave up on the research. I do know that I love this plant. It fills in bare spots on the front porch during the summer months. It brightens the tops of a few cabinets inside and hang in the sun room during the winter months. Anyone can grow them as they are so easy to care for.

You can stop giggling now Tina :-)
