The Complete Guide to Pothos Plant Care

Light Requirements – Pothos can adapt to different lighting conditions but grows best in bright, indirect light. – Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may slow growth.

Watering – Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. – Overwatering can cause root rot, so ensure the pot has drainage holes.

Soil & Potting – Use a light, well-draining potting mix with peat moss and perlite. – Repot every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and encourage growth.

Temperature & Humidity – Ideal temperatures range between 65-85°F (18-29°C). – Pothos thrives in average indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting.

Fertilizing – Use a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer. – Avoid over-fertilizing, which can cause salt buildup in the soil.

Pruning & Propagation – Trim long vines to encourage bushier growth. – Propagate by cutting a stem below a node and placing it in water or soil.

Common Problems – Yellowing leaves? It may be overwatering or lack of light. – Watch out for pests like spider mites and mealybugs—wipe leaves with insecticidal soap if needed.
