Planting & Care
When you receive your Silver Pothos, unpack it carefully and water if the soil feels dry. Place it in a spot with bright, indirect light, though it will tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, and reduce watering in winter. This plant enjoys average room temperatures and moderate humidity; mist occasionally or use a pebble tray to boost humidity.
Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Prune to control size or encourage bushier growth. Repot every 1-2 years or when rootbound. Keep away from drafts and cold windows. With proper care, your Silver Pothos will reward you with lush, patterned foliage.
