Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Pothos live plants is wonderfully straightforward, contributing to their reputation as one of the easiest houseplants to grow. They are highly adaptable, but providing them with optimal conditions will encourage the most vibrant growth and lush foliage. When it comes to sunlight, Pothos prefer bright, indirect light. Direct, harsh sunlight can scorch their leaves, while too little light can cause the variegation to fade and growth to slow. An east or north-facing window is often ideal indoors. If placing them outdoors, ensure they are in a shaded or partially shaded location, protected from the intense afternoon sun.

Watering is crucial for healthy Pothos. Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake and can lead to root rot, so it’s always better to underwater slightly than to overwater. You can check soil moisture by sticking your finger into the soil or using a moisture meter. When watering, ensure water drains through the bottom of the pot. The ideal soil type for Pothos is a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn’t become waterlogged. A standard houseplant mix with added perlite or coco coir works well. Pothos are tolerant of average household temperatures, typically thriving between 65-85°F (18-29°C), and do not tolerate frost, so bring them indoors if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C). Fertilize your Pothos live plants every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter. For specific Pothos plant care advice regarding different varieties, research indoor Pothos varieties to understand their unique needs.

Common problems like yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering, while brown, crispy edges often point to underwatering or low humidity. Pothos are generally pest-resistant, but occasionally spider mites or mealybugs can appear; treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary. Pruning is beneficial to maintain shape, encourage bushier growth, and promote new vines. Simply snip off any leggy stems just above a leaf node. These cuttings can then be easily propagated in water or soil to create more plants, a testament to the hardiness and generous nature of easy care houseplants like Pothos.
