[I also posted this in r/IndoorPlants. I just really want to rehab my sad little not-ivy 🥲]
I bought this plant from Home Depot in May, where it was CLEARLY LABELED “English ivy.” Only today have I begun to suspect that it’s not ivy.
Based on my rudimentary research, I think it’s a golden pothos? It had never really thrived and has always looked a bit sad. I moved it to several different spots before putting it outside in July and leaving it there since last week, when I brought it in and re-potted it in Miracle-Gro brand potting soil.
I probably need to take it out of this window, where it’s getting a lot of direct morning sunlight (and it seems they don’t like that). However I think it did like the re-pot, as it seems there’s a lot of new growth happening at the roots.
I’d love to hear any advice anyone would like to give, as a complete plant ignoramus who has spent the last 5 months believing this was an ivy.
