How to Keep Your Pothos Plant Healthy and Thriving

Pothos is one of the easiest houseplants to care for, making it perfect for beginners.

Place your pothos in bright, indirect light, but it can also tolerate low-light areas.

Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to avoid root rot.

Use well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes.

Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and help photosynthesis.

Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth.

Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.

Keep the temperature between 18–30°C and avoid cold drafts. Watch for yellowing leaves, which can signal overwatering.

With these simple tips, your pothos will stay lush, green, and thriving.
