Every 1-2 weeks, and let the top inch dry out between waterings. Pothos handles drought better than most plants, so if you forget for a while, it'll be fine. Cut back in winter when growth slows down.Water

Grows faster than almost anything else you can put in a pot. The gold in the leaves gets brighter with more light, so if yours looks plain green, it wants a sunnier spot.

Fun Facts

In the wild in French Polynesia, Pothos leaves reach 30-40 inches long on mature climbing plants. Those cute little heart-shaped leaves on your shelf? Baby leaves. The plant never fully grows up indoors!

Pothos is classified as invasive in several countries including Sri Lanka and parts of Australia. It does so well in shade that once it escapes into the wild, good luck getting rid of it.

Almost nobody has ever seen a Pothos flower. They only bloom in their mature adult phase, which basically never happens indoors. The flower is a cream-colored spathe with a purple center. It exists! You'll just probably never see one.

Pet Safety

Toxic to pets

Toxic to cats, dogs, horses, and humans. All parts contain calcium oxalate crystals causing mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting. Keep trailing vines up and away from curious pets!
