How long have you had Perry?? Curious to how much sun you give it we just got two pothos from the marketplace

I have had this one for a little over a year it definitely has taken off. It started as a 4 inch. He actually lives in my office so he gets constant lighting and I have some grow lights in other plants. They like to dry out between waterings and make sure you use a tropical soil so it doesn’t get water logged they don’t like to be wet. And I also mist it a few times a week. They’re one of the more easy of the house plants. I snapped off a piece last week and now it has two new growths coming off. Happy growing!

I have one but I don’t know how to care for it I need help 🙁

#### Wooberto Jones replied on 2024-04-26

What is yours looking like right now? How much light is it getting? How often do you water? What kind of potting soil is it in? We can figure it out!

I water it once a week. I’m going to change the soil today to miracle Grove potting soil house plants

Just something to think about if you use regular house plant potting soil you might want to water it less! Make sure the soil is dry before giving it a drink. Happy growing! 🥰

Is beautiful God bless your plant

### Yolanda commented on 2024-05-04

Is it a good idea to change the soil because the soil that I had it on now is wet even if I don’t water it if the soil stays wet like after two weeks of watering it don’t worry for two weeks and still wet

#### Wooberto Jones replied on 2024-05-04

I think the soil you have it in hold in moisture so it has a hard time drying out. I would get it a tropical plant soil mixture it allows it to dry out better in between waterings. If the plant never dries out and stays went it can get root rot or a fungal infection.
