- 1). Keep the pothos in a location where the temperature stays between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing the pothos in direct sunlight, as the sun will burn the foliage. The pothos will tolerate indirect sunlight or dim artificial lighting.
- 2). Water the soil when the first 1 inch feels dry. Apply the water to the soil until it drains from the bottom of the pot. Remove excess water that accumulates on the tray under the pot.
- 3). Mist the plant weekly with distilled water. This increases the humidity level and helps to keep the plant healthy.
- 4). Apply a balanced and water-soluble fertilizer to the pothos every two months, per label instructions.
- 5). Remove dead leaves from the plant, using pruning shears. Remove these leaves at the vine. Cut the tips of the vines if desired to control the length and height of the plant. Never remove more than one-third of the plant's foliage.
- 6). Transplant the pothos when the roots block the drainage holes. Repot the plant in a container twice as large as the container it resides in to ensure it has enough room to grow. Plant the pothos at the same growing depth.
