Indirect Lighting

Keep pothos plants away from direct bright lighting so that the leaves don't burn. Medium to low light conditions work well.

Don't Overwater

Water thoroughly when top of soil is dry. This will be every 1-2 weeks. Water more in bright light and less in low light.

Train Vines 

Pothos are trailing plants but you'll need to train them (move them) to climb the way you'd like. Keep leaves untangled!

Repot 

Consider repotting your pothos if the roots have taken over the current pot. Move to a bigger pot and add fresh soil for a happy plant.

Propagate 

Pothos are great for propagating. Cut the stem at the node, place in water, and let the root system grow. Pot in fresh soil.
