It’s so easy to confused Pothos plants (or Epipremnums) with Philodendrons. The easiest way to tell them apart is that Philodendrons produce leaf sheaths on new growth that will crisp up and fall off over time, while Pothos don’t. The best part — if you can care for one, you can care for the other! So, it really doesn’t matter which one you have. 🤩🪴 #pothos #philodendron #plants #plantsoftiktok #PlantTok
