Feed
Any kind of liquid fertilizer will suffice for growing Pothos. I use Miracle-Gro, which is the most commonly available liquid fertilizer in most stores. They produce a liquid fertilizer for African Violets, another common houseplant, and this mixture of nutrients is sufficient for most house plants as well.
The key is to fertilize your plant with each watering. So an example: if your fertilizer says feed 1tsp every 2 weeks, then you could do 1/2tsp every week if that makes sense. Just don't overthink it too much. Pothos are very resilient plants.
Do Pothos Plants Like Coffee Grounds? Yes, Golden Pothos tends to thrive in soil with coffee grounds.
Boost their growth
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.
The short answer is no: sugar water doesn't help plants grow. For a plant to live, it needs sunlight, water, and air.
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.
A: If overwatered, your pothos will typically show signs of yellowing and mushy leaves.
Mix 1-2 tablespoons of Epsom salt in 1 gallon of water and fill a spray bottle. Spray it on your plant once or twice a month. Mix used tea leaves or black coffee with water, dilute 1:10 with water(1 part fertilizer to 10 parts water). Water Pothos plants once a month.
Miracle-Gro® Tropical Houseplant Food is safe to use on all tropical plants, including spider plants, ZZ plants, snake plants, croton, pothos, monstera, fiddle-leaf figs, and more.
Step 3: How to Keep a Pothos Alive in Water
Feeding your pothos is important! Typically, potting soil contains nutrients your plant needs, but since it's in water you'll need to feed it to keep it growing! I dilute all purpose fertilizer to 1/4 strength and pour a small amount of that into each container.
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.
Prevent Fungal Disease
MAKE IT: Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 2-3 drops of liquid soap in 1 liter of water. Spray the solution on the infected plants. Baking soda helps the plants become less acidic and prevents fungal growth.
You can use tap water for your Pothos but leave it overnight for the chemicals, like chlorine or fluoride, to evaporate. Distilled or purified water can also be used. The water should be at room temperature to prevent shocking your Pothos plant. Slightly lukewarm water is also fine.
For potted plants, Scott recommends applying the Epsom salt solution once per month. When planting a magnesium-loving plant in your garden, such as roses, Scott recommends adding a light sprinkle of Epsom salt to the soil before planting it into the garden.
Filtered water: If you don't have access to clean or distilled water, you can use filtered water for houseplant propagation. Filtered water can remove some of the impurities that are present in tap water, such as chlorine and minerals.
For a plant like pothos that does not like to be overly fed, a liquid fertilizer might be the best choice. A high-quality, balanced liquid fertilizer is the Espoma Organic Indoor Houseplant Food, which should be diluted at 2 teaspoons of fertilizer per quart of water.
Pothos does enjoy the same bright, indirect natural light that most houseplants look for, but low light isn't a deal-breaker either. Lower light might cause pothos to have less dense foliage and turn a little darker green, but it'll still be happy and beautiful.
