About Pruning My Pothos

Some people write manifestos. We prune plants.

This isn’t a blog. It’s a slow, leafy rebellion against noise — and a quiet practice of letting go.

Why We Prune

Pruning My Pothos started as a quiet reflection on growth — not the loud, optimized kind, but the kind that sprawls. We found poetry in pothos leaves, and therapy in letting go.

This space is our journal: part philosophy, part creative mulch, part garden of existential weeds.

Pothos: The Plant. The Path.

More than just a houseplant, the pothos symbolizes resilience and adaptability. It grows in silence, thrives in neglect, and stretches toward whatever light it can find.

To prune is to participate. It’s a gentle rebellion against excess, and a mindful return to what matters. Every trim is a choice to grow better, not just bigger.

We found in pothos a metaphor that mirrors our own loops of healing, restraint, and thoughtful expansion.
