    give it something to climb on! they're crawlers, so they get happy & HUGE when you let them trail up instead of down! i recommend a moss pole, but if it's not in the cards right now you can really use anything as a stake.

      Should I do that soon or wait until it's bigger?

      give it a week or two to adjust to the new environment, and then add the pole

    They also like to trail… or not!

    I wished I had installed a moss pole with my manjula pothos.

    Mine have always been happy trailing. And they like to be snug in their pot. 😁

    Give the plant bright indirect light, get a soil moisture meter so you can check it before watering.

    Pothos are one of the easiest plants to maintain and you have a rare beauty know as the marble queen pothos!!😊 I’ve had mine for 3 years and there have been times where I would go weeks without watering and they still thrived😂. The best thing about this plant is it tells you when they are thirsty (leaves will curl up). They love to hang or climb I let mine do a mix of both so it’s up to you. Make sure at least once a month you check the roots as they grow rapidly and can quickly become root bound if you do not repot accordingly as well as fertilize it! And if you ever want to propagate the leaves you have to cut them at the nodes (little brown bumps under the leaves) and submerge them into water with fertilizer. Hope this helps and welcome to being a pothos parent!🤗

    FYI: these are plants you should use a wooden stick or skewer to see if they need to be watered, or not. If you’re not familiar with the drill, push a wooden stake all the way to the bottom of the pot, and let us sit there for several minutes, the longer the better. When you pull the stake out, if there are wet crumbs on bottom of it, don’t water. If there are just tiny dry pieces of dirt, then it’s time to water. This is the best way to know if your plant needs a drink, and you’ll never need to worry about root rot!
