Do plants grow faster around a lot of people? My mom is a teacher and she has had several plants. Whenever she brings them home, they usually don’t last very long, but when she keeps them in her classroom with her students, they grow very quickly and last longer. Is there any reason for this?

Her classroom windows has more light and better humidity probably.
May I suggest there could be not only a different light environment at home, but possibly a cold draft where the plants get relocated. If moving the plants in cold weather, be sure to cover them with big plastic bags before taking them outside, put them in a heated vehicle, not the back of a truck (any time of year). Even if all those precautions are in place, some plants prefer to not be moved. But others do quite well and aren’t fussy, so keep trying!
light? vibration?
It’s the windows. A friend of mine is a teacher and treats their classroom like a houseplant sick bay. His house has terrible light, so the plants suffer when they go home, and get better again when he brings them to school. Can’t beat those institutional windows.
Maybe more CO2 and bigger windows, more light.
Plants want love, that’s true, but not human love…they want the bright warm love of the sun. 🌞
I legit don’t know how to kill a Pothos. Three pots in various spaces ended up taking over my house in a decade. They seem to thrive on neglect and under watering. One of them even fasciated and made a HUGE stem one day and leaves the size of an adult Monstera Deliciosa.
