Epipremnum aureum

Pothos is an evergreen plant with thick, waxy, green, heart-shaped leaves with splashes of yellow. As a houseplant, it is commonly grown as a hanging plant. Pothos can climb by means of aerial roots, and wild or cultivated plants grown outdoors can reach enormous heights using tall trees as support.

Key Care Points

  • Use a chunky well draining soil.
  • Let soil dry out in between watering.
  • When root-bound, repot in well draining pot with a diameter no larger than 1 inch of your plants root system.

Tips

  1. For larger leaves, use a trellis or moss pole
  2. Want flowers? Keep ambient temperature above 75 degrees, and give its lots of indirect sunlight.

Epipremnums require occasional watering, bright indirect light, and a well-draining soil mix.

Watering

Water epipremnums when the soil dries. They’re drought-tolerant.

Tip: They indicate when it’s time to water by drooping their leaves.

Humidity

Maintain a humidity level between 50% and 70%.

Lighting

Epipremnums thrive in bright, indirect sunlight.

They can tolerate low indoor artificial lighting conditions.

Soil

Use a chunky soil mix specifically designed for orchids or epiphytes, such as an orchid or epiphyte-branded potting soil mix.

The pH level should be around 6.3.

Fertilizing

Our plant comes fertilized.

After 6 months to a year, you can either start micro-dosing fertilizer every other watering period, change the soil, or use a topsoil fertilizer.
