Plant Care Guide

Light

Water

About once every 10-14 days. Allow top few inches of soil to dry out before watering thoroughly. Water less often in winter.

Level of Care

Easy! Just avoid direct sunlight and cold temperatures.

Air Purifying

The NASA Clean Air Study has ranked the Pothos as one of the most efficient houseplants that remove formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, and toluene from the air we breathe.

Fertilizer

Feed with a mild liquid, indoor plant fertilizer about 1-2 times a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter.

Temperature

Prefers warm conditions above 60°F. Keep away from drafty windows and air conditioners.

Soil

A peaty All-Purpose potting soil with good drainage works best.

Pruning & Propagation

Prune damaged or yellow leaves by cutting to the leaf node. To propagate, place stems of vine cuttings in water and roots should form within a week or so. Replant in soil.
