I'm curious, what are some houseplants that just grow way too fast for their own good? Personally, I've got tradescantias, spider plants, and coleus that seem to outgrow everything else! I don't even bother taking cuttings anymore because they're just taking over. I even brought some to work and now my coworkers are getting a bit fed up, haha! What plants do you all have that are just relentless in their growth?

I have a purple passion plant that's even more prolific than my spider plant! I've been trying to give away cuttings just so I don’t end up with 6 of them. At least the main plant is slowing down now, but that first cutting is getting pretty big. It's a good problem to have, though!
Definitely agree about tradescantia! I’d also add philodendron brasil to the list. Those guys can really take off!
My house is totally full of Epipremnum aureum. And don’t get me started on Rhaphidophora tetrasperma; that one has outgrown all the pots! My Gynura aurantiaca is filling out my cauldron like crazy too. Watch out, it’s a jungle in here!
I love all those plants! It's amazing how quickly they can take over. If you've got room, just let them grow wild!
