Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your pothos live plant is straightforward, ensuring it remains healthy and vibrant for years to come. Understanding its basic needs will help you cultivate a thriving specimen. Pothos thrives in USDA Hardiness zones 10–12 typically in tropical and subtropical climates, where it can be grown outdoors. However, it is primarily grown indoors as a houseplant in most regions.

For sunlight, Pothos prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its variegation may become less pronounced. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Water your Pothos thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It’s better to slightly underwater than overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Ensure your pot has good drainage. A standard well-draining potting mix is ideal for Pothos. The plant is quite adaptable to different temperatures but thrives best in typical indoor room temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Fertilize your variegated pothos 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 optimal growth and to keep your plant looking tidy, prune any leggy stems. You can also train the vines to climb a moss pole or cascade from a hanging basket. This pothos care guide will help you maintain a beautiful, healthy plant.
