They’re very easy to take care of and are honestly my favorite plants to have because there are so many different varieties! They enjoy medium indirect light and I usually water mine every 1-2 weeks 😁 ### Sunny commented on 2023-09-04 They both look very healthy. They are both golden pothos. I recommend combing into one pot to get a fuller looking plant, if you like. Just add rooting hormone powder. Watering depends on several factors including the environment, soil, location and others. I live in zone 9 and is in a heatwave. So, I water twice a day because my plants are outside. Water when the soil is dry about 1” to 2” deep is a better way to water. Remember to fertilize in the spring and summer growing seasons with diluted fertilizer. I find timed release fertilizer (Osmocote) works well. Good luck🪴🍀 ### Liv commented on 2023-09-04 Pothos will also tell you when they need water if it’s been awhile, they will curl and droop but bounce right back after watering! ### J commented on 2023-09-04 Thanks all. Had them for about 2 months. Water them around once every 2 weeks. They seem to be doing well so far so fingers crossed --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
