Alaiedon Grown

The pothos is the first plant I learned to grow indoors and the one you should start with too. It’s an excellent beginner plant, requires minimal care, and is very forgiving. With good care, it can produce 1-2 leaves a week! If you don’t give it constant attention but still care for it a bit, it won’t die. Many plant ads say “This plant thrives on neglect,” but that’s not true; all plants need care to live. The Pothos can live with minimal attention but will thrive with proper care.

Pothos plants prefer bright indirect light, so placing them near a window is ideal. If your window faces north, position your plant as close to it as possible, as it won’t receive much light from that particular window. Water your pothos around every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks, and only when the soil is completely dry. Consistency in your watering schedule benefits your plant, and reduce watering if it’s receiving less light, as it will grow slower and absorb less water. In winter, water less frequently due to reduced sunlight. It’s helpful to use fertilizer, and I recommend Jobes Fertilizer Spikes; they’re inexpensive and beneficial. Replace them only when repotting. Good liquid fertilizers, like Miracle-Gro, also work well. Ensure your pothos has enough space in its pot to avoid crowding the roots.
