These tropical plants<\/a><\/b> are popularly grown indoors and are a great choice for beginners. Pothos are vining plants that are native to the tropical regions of the South Pacific. Even though pothos doesn\u2019t bloom, it makes up for it with its vibrant foliage that comes in various colors and patterns.<\/p>\n

Pothos plant care is easy, and the high adaptability of these fast-growing plants<\/a><\/b> makes them a great addition to have in your indoor garden<\/a><\/b>. Moreover, pothos is a shade-tolerant plant that is perfect for low-light areas in your home and offices<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

This plant is also great for indoor spaces because of its air-purifying<\/a><\/b> abilities. The ideal location to grow pothos indoors is where it can receive bright and indirect light away from cold drafts. So without further ado, let\u2019s explore how you can grow and care for the pothos plant.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Pothos Plant Care<\/b><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”4673″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]Pothos plant care is very easy, as this plant has no special needs and even thrives on neglect.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Water<\/b><\/h3>\n

Let the top 2 inches of soil dry out before watering<\/a><\/b> the pothos plant. Keeping the soil overwatered or soggy can lead to root rot. In its ideal condition, pothos will demand more frequent watering every week or two. Reduce the watering in winter.<\/p>\n

Pothos plant care is easy when it comes to watering, as this plant will tell you it’s thirsty by drooping its leaves. However, don\u2019t let the leaves become shriveled or completely dry before watering.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Light\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pothos can be grown in both sun and shade. Moreover, these hardy plants<\/a><\/b> can also thrive in low-light or areas with fluorescent lights. However, for better pothos plant care, keep these plants in a location with bright and indirect sunlight.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Soil<\/b><\/h3>\n

You can use any ordinary potting mix suitable for indoor plants<\/a><\/b> for pothos. Make sure that the soil is well-draining and has a neutral to acidic pH from 6.1 to 6.8.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Temperature and Humidity<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pothos should always be kept at temperatures above 50\u00b0F, ideally between 65\u00b0F and 75\u00b0F. Although they can tolerate low humidity, they thrive in high humidity. Temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit are suitable for this plant because of its adaptability. Bathrooms and kitchens are excellent places for pothos to live since they prefer high humidity. Periodically place the plant next to a humidifier.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Fertilizer<\/b><\/h3>\n

Although potting soil contains extremely few nutrients, pothos are not heavy feeders. You only need to apply a balanced fertilizer every two months. During the winter, when the plant is dormant, it is best to avoid feeding it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Potting and Repotting<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your pothos will eventually become pot-bound. No matter how much or how frequently you water, drooping leaves indicate that the roots have filled the pot. Examine the roots by carefully lifting the plant out or looking for roots sprouting through drainage holes.<\/p>\n

The plant can be repotted into a container that is one or two sizes larger in diameter and depth once it reaches this stage. To aid in the plant’s recovery, use fresh potting soil and give it plenty of water. If at all feasible, wait until the plant is actively growing before repotting. Use a terracotta, ceramic, metal, or plastic pot that has enough drainage. Consider using terracotta, which helps wick away moisture, if your pothos resides in a low-light region.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
