al28894 | Potting a Pothos - with an unused vase

Years ago, I brought a decorative clay vase because I was out on holiday and thought I needed to buy something to show I actually holidayed. But it has sat in an unseen part of my room for years afterwards because I have no idea what to do about it.

Several weeks ago, I obtained a pothos cutting out of a larger plant and wanted to grow it well. I placed the cut end in a small jar of water and seen it growing roots over the past three weeks.

Over the weekend, I had a sudden thought: what if I can repot the pothos into the clay vase?

Thanks to an empty water bottle, a thumbtack and scissors, a dead plant pot in the garden for soil, and a morning of work, the pothos is now officially repotted! Using the water bottle ensures that I can remove the plant if I need to change the soil or move it to larger container.

(I'm angling it away from the window because there is such a thing as being too bright, especially for a plant that's previously housed in water.)

Having the entire piece now prominent in the room, it does make for an eye-catcher. Grow, pothos! Grow!
