I have never been much of a plant guy. No particular reason I suppose, just never got into it. Probly on ac A shame really as green thumbs run in the family. Almost a year ago a co-worker was tossing a plant away and I decided to use a spare pot and get a little piece of the overgrown plant to call my own. It's been a year or more now nad I have two large pots with four plants growing nicely. I don't know what any of them are. But they are nice to have around.
The post title stems from the one pot that is overgrowing both the pot and now the desk. In it are two common office plants which are most likely weeds of some sort. I say that because of how the grow. Everywhere and as fast as possible. At first I thought it was cool, then later I was having fun drapeing the long reaching vines around the desk and monitors. Then I started to get concerned for the safety of the two no-so-quickly growing plants in the pot. So I rescued them to their own lands on the other side of the desk. But I wonder how long it will be before I have to trim this monster. If I don't it will have claimed the desk this time next year. Almost looks like the head of an 80's plant rock star. Vines and leaves just pouring out over the big pot and cascading down all over.
With the sucess this has been I might get some plants for the appartment. It would be nice to have some variation and organics in the rooms there.

I have a similar plant, which I have had for a long time about 9 years, but it was growing nicely like yours was so I cut off the vines but I think I went too far becuase the vines havent grown back yet. So when you do trim your plant make sure to not go overboard :)
Its nice that you rescued the two smaller ones that were in the same pot as "the monster."
9 years. By then it will be ow3ning the entire office if I don't hack it. One time I actually did chop it in a few places. It took a month or so but re-grew in a big way. Though it did leave an unsightly stump in a few places. Oh well, soon it will be time to bust out the shears. As is, the weed plant is almost touching the little plants on the other side of the desk. I think they are scared.
