    Note: Someone let me know I mispronounced Cebu. It's actually pronounced like "sebu" with a short e.

    It’s a tragedy you don’t have massive following and views. Your documentary type videos are incredible quality and has proper useful information. I have watched your how to care for anthurium videos so many times. And I have switched to drain-less glass jar setup for anthurium for all of my anthuriums. They are all thriving and made my life so much easier on maintenance. Never stop making videos!

    Also love your docuseries, they're very well crafted and a treat to watch when I feel like learning and relaxing at the same time. I think that actual pothos make interesting terrarium/vivarium plants, especially Pothos pugnax which you've featured in this video. I'd never heard of it but I'll definitely get one if I ever find one available. I just checked my favourite seller's stock and it turns out he has more than I thought, he doesn't have pugnax but he has Pothos barberianus which is very similar. The leaves' innervation reminds me of some Anthuriums!

    Cebu is pronounced seh-boo, not see-boo. Didn’t mean to sound rude, because I’m not trying to be. I love your channel!
    Epipremnum is my favorite genus of species in the plant world. Thanks for sharing this!!! You rock! I’ve been telling people that it’s not a pothos, it’s Epipremnum for so long (since the plantdemic).
    At least someone with a big following (that’s growing) is planting that seed in the minds of plant addicts in the west.

I’m a sucker for weird plants, and those strange cup-like growths behind each leaf is no exception. They’re growing up Sydney-Pantguy-mosspoles, so we’ll see how long they’ll take to pinnate.

    I live in a rural village in the Philippines in just few walks from our backyard into the jungle you will find Pothos scandens and Epipremnum pinnatum hugging trees. In my mother tongue, we refer to Pothos scandens as "kurukandila" because it looks like a candle and sometimes "uru-ulalaypan" because it also looks like a centipede. Great video!

      I hear you. On one hand, a name is just a name…a made up word we assigned to something. On the other hand, if botanists go to all this trouble differentiating and naming species and organizing them into genera, families, etc, does it even matter if we are going to misname plants. I think it can go both ways and I see validity in each side of the argument
