Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

Growing & Care Tips

Overview

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), commonly known as Devil's Ivy, thrives indoors and is prized for its trailing vines and air-purifying qualities. It can tolerate low light conditions but grows best in bright, indirect light.

Care Tips

• Pothos is low-maintenance and can thrive in various light conditions.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Pruning helps maintain a bushy appearance and can be done as needed to control growth.

Uses

Pothos is a popular choice for indoor decoration due to its trailing vines, making it suitable for hanging baskets or climbing on supports. Its air-purifying abilities make it a beneficial addition to any indoor space.

Planting Tips

• Plant Pothos in well-draining soil in a container with drainage holes.
• Position in an area with bright, indirect light for optimal growth.
• Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance includes proper watering, feeding, and occasional pruning to maintain shape and size.

Protect the plant from drafts and cold temperatures, aiming to maintain warmth and humidity.
