Care Instructions

<p>Pothos plants (Epipremnum aureum) are popular, low-maintenance houseplants known for their trailing vines and vibrant green leaves, making them great for indoor décor and photography. They thrive in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low-light conditions, though growth may slow and variegation may fade. Water only when the top inch of soil is dry, as overwatering can cause root rot, and reduce watering during winter. Plant them in well-draining potting soil and use a pot with drainage holes. Pothos prefer normal indoor temperatures between 60–85°F (16–29°C) and adapt well to typical household humidity. Fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer, and skip feeding in fall and winter. Prune occasionally to encourage bushier growth and remove yellow or damaged leaves. Pothos are relatively pest-resistant but watch for mealybugs or spider mites. Their trailing vines make them ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or photo displays, and they are very forgiving, making them perfect for beginners or anyone looking for an easy-care, visually appealing plant.</p>
