Daily care and tips for Pothos

How do you care for a pothos on a daily basis?

Pothos only needs watering when the growing medium is dry throughout, about every 7 to 10 days depending on the season. Moderate to bright indirect light encourages balanced growth and dense foliage. A light dusting of the leaves from time to time also improves photosynthesis.

What kind of light is best for a pothos?

Bright indirect light, about one to two meters from'a window, is ideal for pothos. It also tolerates darker areas, although its growth slows and the variegation on its leaves'fades. However, avoid direct sunlight, which can burn its delicate foliage.

Why are the leaves on my pothos turning yellow?

Yellowing leaves most often indicate overwatering or poorly drained soil that retains too much water. Check that the pot drains well and space out waterings, allowing the soil to dry out thoroughly. A well-draining container helps limit this problem over the long term.

Can you put a pothos outside in the summer?

Pothos can spend the summer outdoors if temperatures stay above 15°C and it's placed in the shade or in indirect light, never in direct sunlight. Bring it indoors as soon as nights start getting cooler late in the season. Too much sun or strong winds can damage its delicate leaves.

How do you repot a pothos?

Le rempotage s'effectue idéalement au printemps, dans un pot légèrement plus grand que le précédent, avec un substrat aéré et drainant. Attendez 2 à 3 semaines d'acclimatation après réception avant toute manipulation des racines. Un terreau enrichi en biostimulants favorise une reprise rapide après le rempotage.

Everything you need to know about Pothos

What are the most popular Pothos varieties?

Among the most popular varieties are Golden Pothos, with its green and yellow foliage, Neon Pothos, with its bright green leaves, and N'Joy Pothos, with its striking white variegation. These Epipremnum varieties stand out mainly for the color and pattern of their variegation. Our Mystery Pothos Box lets you try several of these color variations in a single order.

Is pothos toxic to cats and dogs?

Yes, Pothos is toxic to cats and dogs according to the'ASPCA, due to calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves. Ingestion can cause mouth irritation, vomiting, or excessive drooling. It is therefore best to place it out of reach of curious pets.

Which pothos should I choose for a dimly lit apartment?

Golden Pothos and Marble Queen Pothos are particularly tolerant of low light thanks to their less variegated foliage compared to other varieties. They can be placed more than two meters from a window without losing too much vigor. These varieties remain among the hardiest in the genus Epipremnum.

Can you put a pothos in a living room?

The living room is perfectly suited to the Pothos, thanks in particular to varying light levels depending on the'exposure and enough space to let its stems trail down from a shelf or a high piece of furniture. Its rapid growth makes it an ideal plant for dressing up a corner or a bookcase. It'works just as well in a hanging planter as in a pot placed on the floor.
