Provide Bright, Indirect Light Pothos thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so place them near a window with filtered light to promote healthy growth.
Water When the Soil Is Dry Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause leaves to yellow.
Use Well-Draining Soil Ensure the pot has good drainage and use a well-draining potting mix to avoid waterlogging. Pothos prefer soil that retains some moisture but doesn’t stay soggy.
Keep Humidity Moderate While Pothos are adaptable to various humidity levels, they prefer moderate humidity. Consider occasional misting or placing the pot on a humidity tray to boost moisture levels.
Prune Regularly Prune your Pothos regularly to encourage fuller, bushier growth. Trim back long vines to promote branching and create a more lush appearance.
Fertilize Every Month During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize your Pothos monthly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer to encourage strong growth and vibrant leaves.
Repot When Necessary Repot your Pothos every 1–2 years to provide more space for root growth. Choose a pot that’s 1–2 inches larger than the current one to avoid root crowding.
