Pothos Care Made Simple
Pothos is the perfect plant for those of us who love greenery but arenât exactly âplant whisperers.â Hereâs a no-fuss guide to keeping your Pothos looking lush without too much drama.
'What Kind of Light Do Pothos Plants Need?
Pothos is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in low to bright, indirect light. Itâll tolerate low light like a champ, but too much direct sunlight can give it a sunburnâyes, plants can get sunburned too! A north or east-facing window works best.

How to Water Your Pothos Without Overdoing It
Watering a Pothos is a balancing act. The soil should dry out between waterings, so stick your finger in the dirt. If the top inch feels dry, itâs time for a drink. If it feels wet, step away from the watering canâyour Pothos likes to chill between drinks.
What Soil Works Best for Pothos?
Pothos isnât picky. A well-draining potting mix is perfect. Just make sure your pot has a drainage hole; nobody likes soggy roots. We really like the results we've seen using Rosy Soil (found on our website here).
Do Pothos Plants Require Humidity?
While Pothos isnât high-maintenance, it does appreciate a bit of humidity. No need to go overboard thoughâregular indoor humidity levels are just fine. If your house is particularly dry, you can mist the leaves every now and then.
How to Prune and Propagate Pothos
Keep your Pothos looking fresh by trimming the vines when they get too long. Bonus tip: you can propagate those cuttings in water! Just snip a vine below a leaf node and stick it in a glass of water. Before you know it, youâll have baby Pothos plants to share with friends or hoard for yourselfâno judgment here.

Common Pothos Plant Issues And Their Solutions:
- Yellow Leaves: Your Pothos might be overwatered. Let the soil dry out a bit more between waterings.
- Brown Leaf Tips: This usually means the air is too dry. Try misting or moving your plant to a more humid spot.
- Leggy Growth: Not enough light! Move your Pothos to a brighter spot to encourage fuller growth.
