Plant Care & Growing Tips
Caring for your pothos live plant is straightforward, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. These resilient plants are quite forgiving, but providing optimal conditions will ensure their most vibrant growth. For sunlight, Pothos prefers bright, indirect light. While they can tolerate lower light levels, their variegation may become less pronounced, and growth can slow down. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. A spot near a north or east-facing window is often ideal, or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. The plants thrive in typical household temperatures, ideally between 65-85°F (18-29°C), and should be kept away from cold drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.
When it comes to watering, the key for pothos plant care is to allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue and can lead to root rot. You can test the soil moisture with your finger or a moisture meter. During warmer months, you’ll likely water more frequently, while in winter, reduce the frequency. Ensure your pots have drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom. Pothos are not particularly fussy about soil, but they do best in a well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor potting mix amended with perlite or orchid bark will provide good aeration and drainage. Fertilize your indoor vine plant every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing during fall and winter when growth naturally slows.
Pruning is beneficial for encouraging bushier growth and managing the length of the vines. You can trim back any leggy stems just above a node (where a leaf attaches to the stem). These cuttings can then be easily rooted in water or soil to create new plants. Pothos are generally resistant to pests, but occasionally mealybugs or spider mites can be an issue. Inspect your plants regularly and if you spot any pests, treat them promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap. These easy care houseplants are known to thrive in USDA Hardiness zones 10–12 outdoors, but are predominantly grown as indoor plants in most climates due to their sensitivity to cold.
