Pothos plants are a great low-light houseplant for beginners! These plants are well known for being almost un-killable. These plants can be grown in a hanging basket or on a table-top. Pothos come in multiple color varieties ranging from solid green to variegated. Although these plants are quite hardy, there are some care tips you need to follow to keep them look healthy!: Water Pothos once a week when the soil is dry. If the leaves on your plant begin to droop, your plant needs more water. If you begin to get brown spots on the leaves of your Pothos, it is getting too much water. If you notice yellowing leaves on your plant, this could be either because of pests, or the roots of your plant are sitting in water. To fix this, make sure your pot has adequate drainage and inspect for pests.Pothos are low-light plants, but they can tolerate up to medium-light. If your Pothos plant is getting too much light, it will start to get brown tips.A well-draining all-purpose potting mix works fine.Pothos plants can be either potted as a hanging plant or in a regular pot. If you are going to hang your Pothos plant, make sure to use a plastic pot. Pothos plants can grow to be quite heavy. A plastic pot will help keep the weight lighter.

If you want to speed up the rooting process, you can place the cutting in a plastic bag to create a greenhouse environment.Pothos plants are prone to spider mites and mealybugs. Periodically check for them by inspecting the leaves and stems of your plant. To make it easier to see the spider mite webs, mist your plant with water.
