Caring for your pothos

Light requirements

This plant thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions. Variegated types may lose their colour in low light, so placing them in moderate light helps maintain their striking patterns

Water requirements

Water your plant when the top soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering may lead to droopy leaves. A well draining pot is essential to their striking patterns.

Humidity and temperature

Pothos thrive in typical indoor humidity levels but they benefit from occasional misting in dry environments. Ideal temperatures range between 18 to 29 degrees Celsius.

Soil and potting

A standard potting mix with good drainage works well.. Re-pot every 1 to 2 years to refresh the soil and support continued growth.

Fertilising

Feed pothos once a month with a balanced liquid fertiliser.

Common problems and solutions

Yellow leaves are often caused by overwatering or poor drainage. For leggy growth, move to a brighter spot to encourage fuller growth. Low humidity or underwatering can lead to brown leaf tips.
