Plant Care Guide

Light

Level of Care

Jade Pothos is highly adaptable, easily handling various light levels and infrequent watering, making it an ideal plant for busy individuals or beginners.

Air Purifying

Yes, Jade Pothos is an air-purifying plant that helps reduce toxins.

Fertilizer

During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plant every 2–3 months with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer. Make sure the soil is damp before applying fertilizer.

Temperature

Thrives in normal to warm temperatures, between 65°F to 85°F.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of peat, perlite, and pine bark, to ensure proper drainage and aeration.

Pruning & Propagation

The best time to trim your pothos is in spring, after which the plant can grow back healthily. As a rule, prune back the shoots by two thirds. The cut-off shoots can also be used to propagate pothos.
