I'm being overrun.
Yeah well, about 5 years ago my wife asked if I'd mind a plant or 2 in my cave.
I figured why not, it'd sorta bring in a little extra O2 and look good.
I really don't pay much attention to it, I do water it and try to keep it alive, well I was just looking around and really noticed how much this thing has taken over.
Right now it owns about 1/3 of the ceiling (the Red thing is one of the Kayaks I hang in here), and shows no sign of slowing down, guess it's happy back here, heck it's starting to creep into my bookshelves.
Talk about something "growing on you"!

Ever seen the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
If it starts sprouting pods, run!

It's a Pothos plant. Very easy to grow, as they can survive over watering and low light, and they are one of the better plants to grow to improve air quality.

With a green thumb like that, start pouring water on that box of .22's. Be nice to have a vine of 'em sprouting up. Joe

You might want to check your man cave for radiation.

You have to be master over your plants - not the other way around. I would suggest wacking it back to about the last 2 or 3 leaf nodes above the pot, repot it and move it to a brighter spot if available in the cave - probably growing toward the light.
A general rule of thumb for plants in the house is one "normal size" plant per 100 sq ft - this will help clean/filter air.

It took five years for that?
Kudzu grows that much in two weeks.

I've heard for years that plants grow better if you talk to them. Especially if, while holding a pair of pruning shears, you say things like "Grow, you little green *******, or else!"
You must really have been lecturing that thing!

Those Photos plants are great! I've got two, one in a tomato cage and the other just using as a hanging plant. Even my wife can't kill them and she can kill artificial plants.
