However, be sure not to expose your Pothos to direct sunlight, as this will burn it's leaves! a good indication that your Pothos is getting too much light, is the appearance of faded and slightly yellow leaves! Your Pothos can also handle low light conditions very well!We love Pothos for their ability to go almost anywhere in the home and still thrive!
Next, let's chat WATERING and SOIL!
๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐จ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฉ. Water when the top half of your Pothos soil is dry. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Our Not So BASIC BIRCH General Potting soil or our Tropic Like It's Hot Aroid Potting Soil would both be a great fit for your Pothos plant!Lastly, let's talk a few extra tips on caring for your Pothos!

Moss poles support the growth of your plants, train their growth habit, and provide extra micronutrients to your plants through their aerial roots as they attach to the pole. For Aroid plants, such as Pothos, contact between aerial roots and the moss pole can trigger the development of larger, more mature leaves! If you notice your vining plants are getting leggy and the leaves are getting smaller, add a moss pole to encourage larger leaf growth!
