Care tipsThis compact cultivar grows slowly. Protect the pale margins from strong sun and avoid oversized pots.

This is general guidance. Adjust watering and care for your home's light, temperature, humidity, potting mix, container, and season.

General care

Place this pothos in bright indirect light. Green varieties can adapt to somewhat lower light, while variegated cultivars keep stronger color in brighter filtered conditions. Protect the foliage from hot direct sun.

Water and soil

Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry, saturating the root ball and allowing all excess water to escape. Use a loose mix and never leave the pot standing in collected runoff.

Feeding, pruning, and propagation

Feed monthly at half strength in spring and summer. Trim long vines above a node to encourage branching. Each healthy stem cutting needs at least one node and can be rooted in water, sphagnum moss, perlite, or lightly moist potting mix.
