gumby, i don’t know that it’s possible to kill pothos. it’s a viney thing with maybe 4" long leaves, bigger than ivy. comes all green, green & white, green & yellow.
you can start it up a peat moss post or put it in a hanging basket. i’ve had several going for years. when older leaves do die off, i rebury that part of the stem & new sections sprout.
asparagus fern & spider plant are very nice indoors, full & airy. they do especially well when they become rootbound (the stuff in the pot is more root than soil).
one thing any of you w/ plant problems might try is starting w/ a larger plant. if it’s old enough to have gotten big, it’s a hardier specimen. i like the challenge of little plants, but i killed off a lot of them over time, mostly learning to not water them. once you overcome the urge to baby them, you can go on to touchier beauties.
& do invest in an indoor plant book. there will be suggestions like watering schedules & easy-care plants, discussions of the pros & cons of different kinds of planters (ones w/ no drainage holes are the most challenging).
&, vince, get w/ the zen-gardening-physics thing, hon. commune w/ them. let them just live instead of working so hard at trying to keep them alive.
& stop watering.
