Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a native vine to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, but you probably know it best seen trailing off of shelves and desks. Pothos is commonly grown as a house plant boasting pointed, heart-shaped green leaves that are sometimes variegated with white, yellow, or pale green striations.
Pothos can live for many years with basic care and are super adaptable, as various light, soil, and moisture conditions suit them. They are a fast growing plant even indoors, often adding between 12 to 18 inches of length in a month. Be aware that pothos plants are toxic to pets.
Caring for pothos is simple. This low-maintenance plant thrives in bright, indirect light, but it can also do well in low-light conditions. Pothos can thrive in standard houseplant potting mix or a chunky, well-draining aroid mix. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Feed the plant with balanced houseplant fertilizer each month during the spring and summer.
Because pothos can grow in low light spaces or those with only fluorescent lighting, it's an excellent houseplant for offices and dorm rooms.
Common Pothos Problems
Even hardy, low-maintenance pothos can experience common houseplant problems, including pests, diseases, and other issues. Here are some signs to watch out for.
Leaves Turning Yellow
Yellow on a pothos plant can be caused by several different factors. The occasional yellow leaf is nothing to worry about as long as the plant is putting out new growth, but sudden or widespread yellowing is cause for concern. Root rot due to overwatering or a bacterial or fungal disease may be the cause.
Browning Leaves
Brown leaves on pothos are unattractive and signal that something's wrong with the plant. Browning leaves can be caused by a range of issues, including too little light or overwatering. Brown leaves that are dry and crispy indicate under-watering or a lack of humidity.
Drooping Leaves
Pothos leaves drooping or wilting are a sign that the plant is stressed, often by lack of water. Give your plant a deep watering and monitor the soil moisture going forward to avoid letting the soil stay dry for too long. Droopy leaves can also be a symptom of the plant being pot-bound or affected by a plant disease.

Let customers speak for us
from 186 reviewsthis plant is great, i’ve been watching it pop out some new traps and i just water when the mesh stuff dries out and so far so good, if you have any tips let me know

Let’s talk about my new Ponytail Palm. She’s giving “main character energy” in every room she’s in: curly, sassy, and perfectly dramatic. Low maintenance but high impact…..perfection.
If you’re looking for a sign to bring more life (and a little leaf drama) into your space, this is it. Support local, get rooted, and let your plant parent era bloom. 🌱💁♀️

Shipped all the way to Arkansas and came in great shape. She is a little cutie! Hoping she shows a little blue when she settles in. Thanks!

Very pretty, had a rough trip but i think it will be ok. No fault of seller, will be purchasing again

I ordered a Monstera Thai constellation and it's beautiful! I have to admit I was a little nervous about the shipping but the plant was all bundled up and packaged beautifully. The monstera was in great condition and much larger than I thought it was going to be. I will be purchasing from you guys again!

My plant subscription is the highlight of my month! I am always shocked on how beautiful the plants Mel picked out for me are and that they are so well packaged. Excited to see new plant babies will arrive next month!

Look forward to getting the shipping notification in my email! Box with my plants always comes packaged well and with beautiful selection of plants! I hope this subscription option never ends!

Always amazing when ordering from Mel.
