Prune Your Plant
Pruning your plant regularly will tidy up its appearance and stimulate new growth. It is best to prune during the active growing period in the spring or summer. Avoid pruning in the fall or winter months when your plant is less likely to push out new growth.
To manage a large pothos, you can trim each vine back as much or as little as you want as long as the cut is above a node, and you leave at least one pair of leaves. You can cut a vine back as much as two inches (5 cm) from the soil surface and still get new growth.
Pothos love climbing. My one that's just a vine across the shelf does good but nothing impressive. All to ones with poles or a trellis get big leaves. All depends what you're looking for.
Climbing: Pothos plants are natural climbers and can develop long vines with aerial roots. If you choose to let your Pothos climb, you will need to provide it with a support structure such as a trellis, Coir pole, or wall-mounted hooks. This allows the plant to grow upwards, creating an attractive vertical display.
Your Pothos needs personal space, just like you do on a crowded bus. Overcrowding leads to competition for resources, and in the plant world, that's a silent, leafy battle you want to avoid.
Pruning directly at the leaf nodes can help the plant to form more bushy foliage. However, the easiest way to get the desired bushy shape is simply to grow several pothos plants in one pot. Tip: Since devil's ivy is poisonous, always wear gloves when working with the plant – especially when pruning and repotting.
Water your Pothos every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. If the plant's leaves begin curling inward or the potting mix is dry, this is a sign you need to water it more often.
Too much sun can cause your pothos plant's leaves to yellow. This often appears as bleached or yellowish patches on the leaves. "If there's a lot of damage, you can remove affected leaves; otherwise, wait for the pothos to push out enough new growth to help cover up the old, damaged growth," says Hancock.
COFFEE GROUNDS FOR INDOOR PLANTS
Houseplants that prefer acid soil will be more receptive to coffee ground use. These include African violet, croton, gloxinia, monstera, peperomia, and philodendron. Avoid using coffee grounds on aloe vera, orchids, and pothos.
Your Pothos prefers soil that is consistently moist. Be sure you're not over or underwatering your plant. Keep a consistent watering schedule–water when the top 2”-3” of the soil are dry. If you accidentally let your plant's soil dry out completely, you may see leaves go limp, droop, and possibly start to brown.
Epsom salt can promote lush foliage and vibrant green color in indoor foliage plants like ferns and philodendrons, ZZ plant, Aglaonema, Syngonium, Areca Palm, Spider plant, Pothos (Money plant), etc.
Support: As your Pothos grows, it needs something to hold onto. A moss pole provides the sturdy support it craves. Healthy Growth: Climbing allows the plant to spread its leaves and access more light, promoting fuller, healthier growth.
A: If overwatered, your pothos will typically show signs of yellowing and mushy leaves.
Humidity: This plant likes high humidity but it is very tolerant and can thrive even where there is low humidity. For best results, mist once a week in the summer and once every two weeks in the winter. Pruning: Keep the stems trimmed relatively short to keep foliage full along the full stems.
It isn't necessary to use a special pothos plant food and any good quality, all-purpose fertilizer will work. Water-soluble fertilizer is easy to use and it's difficult to make a mistake, however, the amount suggested on the label is usually too strong and may burn your plant.
Growing New Pothos Vines
One way to make foliage grow in the pot is to clip the plant stems under a node to push growing energy to the nodes above. Let a leaf or two remain on what you've cut off. New pothos vines will sprout and eventually become longer shoots.
Q: Do pothos roots like to be crowded? A: They don't mind being a little root-bound but do suffer if they're extremely crowded. You can grow multiple in the same pot on the same moss pole with ease.
One of the classic ways to develop thicker growth, jump-start new stems, and promote a more compact plant is through pinching. Pinching out simply means using the thumb and index finger to remove vegetative growth.
Do Pothos Plants Like Coffee Grounds? Yes, Golden Pothos tends to thrive in soil with coffee grounds.
Soil and potting pothos
Like many plants, they don't mind being snug, but when the rootball becomes too compact, it's time to size up a pot and give it fresh nutrients and more space.
