Here is a comprehensive guide to caring for your Pothos plant:
Light
Bright, indirect light is best. Pothos can adapt to a wide range of light conditions, from low light to bright, indirect light.
Avoid direct sun. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and cause them to turn yellow or brown.
Low light tolerance. While it can survive in low light, its growth will be slower, and variegated varieties may lose their distinct patterns and revert to solid green.
Water
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Pothos is very forgiving of watering mistakes, but it's crucial to let the soil dry out a bit between waterings.
The plant will tell you. A good sign that your Pothos needs a drink is when its leaves start to droop slightly.
Avoid overwatering. This is the most common cause of problems for Pothos. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which will cause yellow leaves and a mushy stem. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
Soil and Potting
Well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. A standard indoor potting mix is generally fine. You can improve drainage by adding perlite or pumice to the mix.
Repotting. Pothos plants are happiest when they are a little bit root-bound. You typically only need to repot them every 1-2 years, or when you see roots growing out of the drainage holes.
Choose the right size pot. When repotting, select a new container that is only one or two inches larger in diameter than the old one.
Temperature and Humidity
Average room temperatures. Pothos plants are comfortable in the same temperature range as humans, typically between 65-85°F (18−29∘C).
Avoid cold drafts. Keep them away from cold windows or air conditioning vents, as cold air can damage the foliage.
Humidity. Pothos are native to tropical climates and appreciate higher humidity, but they tolerate average indoor humidity well. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves, using a pebble tray, or placing it in a humid room like a bathroom.
Fertilizing
Feed during the growing season. Pothos plants are not heavy feeders. You can fertilize them once a month in the spring and summer using a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer.
Dilute the fertilizer. It's a good idea to dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid over-fertilizing and causing salt buildup in the soil.
Stop in fall and winter. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the cooler months when the plant's growth naturally slows down.
Pruning and Propagation
Pruning. To encourage a fuller, bushier plant, regularly prune the long, trailing vines. You can simply cut the stems back to your desired length.
Propagation is easy. Pothos can be effortlessly propagated in water. Simply take a stem cutting that has at least one or two leaves and a node (the small bump where a leaf meets the stem). Place the cutting in a jar of water, and roots will begin to grow in a few weeks. Once the roots are a couple of inches long, you can plant it in soil.
Common Problems
Yellowing leaves: This is often a sign of overwatering. Let the soil dry out before watering again.
Brown, crispy tips: This can be caused by low humidity or too much direct sunlight.
Wilting leaves: This typically means the plant is thirsty. Give it a good drink, and it should perk back up quickly.
Leggy vines with few leaves: This is a sign that the plant is not getting enough light. Move it to a brighter location.
