Make sure you have a well draining pot and soil! I would also say to bottom water that plant if you can because I struggled with fungus gnats in my pothos soil when I watered from the top!

1 likeBeautiful first choice! Congratulations!
1 likealways check the soil before you water!!!! planta has a habit of telling you to water way too frequently. ideally, you want the top 2 inches to be dry, so you should be able to basically stick your whole index finger into the soil before you feel moisture.
1 likeCongratulations! I agree that this is a perfect first plant! They are very resilient and rewarding. As a new plant parent, you want to overdo everything; fight this feeling. It is better to err on not doing with these. Let the soil dry out between waterings and indirect sunlight is best. Good luck! 😍
