Size:

Height 2 - 10 feet

Toxic:

While not deadly, pothos can cause gastrointestinal issues in pets and humans if ingested.

Care:

Light:

Jade Pothos prefers bright, indirect light.It can adapt to lower light conditions, but its variegation may be less vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Suitable locations include east- or west-facing windows or a few feet back from south- or west-facing windows.

Water:

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Overwatering can be more harmful than underwatering.

Humidity:

It tolerates average household humidity but benefits from increased humidity, especially during the growing season.

Temperature:

Jade Pothos thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F.Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F.

Soil:

A well-draining potting mix is essential.A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark can ensure proper drainage and aeration.

Fertilizer:

Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 months during the spring and summer.Dilute the fertilizer to half strength.

Pruning:

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.

Propagation:

Propagate by stem cuttings.

Pothos can climb by means of aerial roots, and wild or cultivated plants grown outdoors can reach enormous heights using tall trees as support. In addition, the leaves of outdoor plants grow many times larger than indoor plants.
