To maintain the white variegation on their leaves, bright indirect light is optimal.

Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves and cause brown or yellow patches.

Even in low light, they may grow a bit slower and their variegation (the white markings on the leaves) could become less pronounced, but they can still survive. If you're aiming for the best growth and vibrant color, providing them with bright, indirect light will be ideal.

Pothos plants are fairly drought-tolerant, so it's important not to overwater them. Letting the soil dry out most of the way between waterings helps prevent root rot, which is one of the most common issues with pothos care.

Check the soil by sticking your finger about 1–2 inches deep. If it feels dry, it's time to water. If it still feels moist, wait a few more days.

When you water, make sure to water thoroughly so that the excess drains out of the bottom of the pot. This ensures the roots get a good drink.

Pothos prefer a light, well-draining soil. A standard houseplant mix works well, but adding a little perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration can be helpful.

During the growing season (typically spring and summer), you can fertilize your pothos about once a month. In fall and winter, when the plant is generally in a dormant phase, it’s best to reduce fertilizing or stop altogether.

Occasionally fertilizing and repotting, you’ll encourage steady growth and keep your pothos looking lush and vibrant.
