So I recently rescued this pothos that one of my neighbours was looking ti get rid of (ignore the pot/dog bowl set up, I am getting her a hanging planter soon!) I have never owned a pothos, does anyone know if she's looking healthy and any tips on helping make her even happier?
She looks gorgeous and extremely happy! Pothos are extremely forgiving and easy to care for. Water when the soil is very nearly or completely dry. In the northern hemisphere in winter that will probably be in the vicinity of once every 2-4 weeks, depending on pot size, and when you do water her, soak her completely. I like to put mine in the sink and let her soak for 10 minutes to 1 hour, and then drain the sink and let the pot drain for another 10 minutes before putting her back in her spot. Keep her in bright light. Again, in winter light that could be right in a west window, but I have mine in a north window with a west window nearby so she might get just a wee bit of direct sun, but has a wide view of the sky at all times. Basically I’d just check her for pests, like fuzzy white specks or very fine webbing, or damaged leaves, but in the absence of those, just sit and admire her. ♥️ you’ve found a treasure. This is Bella, my baby. A very happy plant.
This is such an amazing answer, thank you so much!!
