I just got this pothos plant a couple days ago, and Iā€™m wondering the best way to take care of it, especially for watering! Iā€™m almost completely new to gardening, and Iā€™ve heard a couple different recommendations for how to water and Iā€™m not sure which method to use. Method 1: spray bottle + bottom watering when the plant is dry in the top 2 inches Method 2: just bottom watering Question: is it better to water a pothos when it is completely dried out or just the top 2 inches? Iā€™ve heard both.

    I usually bottom water my pothos when itā€™s dried out. Thatā€™s what works for me. This is mine so far. Just propagated two from her!

    Pothos are super easy and donā€™t require bottom watering. I water about every 10 days and I take it to the sink and let the water run through it from the top out the bottom. What they donā€™t like are little snacks of water. I give it a spray with the sprayer from the sink every other time to clean the leaves. Just my experience.

    I only water when my pothos leaves start to droop, they tell you when they need water. Bottom watering is usually the most beneficial way of watering

    I water when the whole thing feels light. Heavy means the soil is full of water

    My mom is a pothos queen (this is just one of her monsters) and lemme just say... There is nO way she bottom waters. Lol. She just dumps water on them every 7-10 days

    I bottom water pothos (and everything else that's not in a self watering pot lol) Helps prevent gnats and gives me a chance to wrap new growth around the trellis
