# HELP WANTED!! Hello! I’m a brand new plant mom, and I was wondering…

HELP WANTED!!  
Hello! I’m a brand new plant mom, and I was wondering about tips for this Pothos. I have no clue what it is, but I suspect it’s a jade Pothos. I’ve had it for about 2-3 months, but it hasn’t grown. I have it in my showers window (the one at the top), and I’ve had it there for 2 days. Before that I had it on some shelves in my room, but my room was too cool and dry to keep it there imo, so I moved it. Any tips on how to keep it healthy and happy? How do I get it to grow?

I water mine once a week, and keep it in bright indirect light. I’ve found that growth starts slow, but after a certain point growth increases. Your pothos also seems like it’s in a very big pot. Small pots are actually best bc the plant roots can find nutrients easier, which means it can will likely have more growth. Pothos are pretty easy plants, so I think you should do well! Good luck!

Thank you!! It’s actually in a relatively small pot 😭 I can see how it’d look big, but it’s about 3/4 inches wide, and handmade with a drainage hole.  
I water mine every Monday, so I don’t think it’s that either. Thank you!

Seems like your doing everything right! Just keep doing what your doing and hopefully you’ll see growth :)

They are great plants for newbies! Have you started fertilizing? That could help too, especially now as it’s growing season.

#### Moon replied on 2023-06-18

I haven’t, no. What are some good ones? I’d like to start getting it bigger, but he just hasn’t grown 😭

this is a golden potho!! they love to crawl, they are a type of vine. i have 2. they like to be in indirect light, and mine will die if i don’t water it every other day, but that depends on room temp and light. hope this helps! wish you luck!!
