Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper Hawaiian Pothos care is essential for ensuring your Giant Hawaiian Pothos live plant thrives and reaches its full potential. While generally low-maintenance, understanding its specific needs will help it flourish. For optimal growth, place your Epipremnum aureum in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its large leaves, while too little light may cause the variegation to fade and growth to slow. An east or north-facing window is often ideal, or a spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window. This easy indoor plant can adapt to lower light conditions but will not grow as vigorously.

Watering should be done thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. It’s better to underwater than overwater, as Pothos are susceptible to root rot. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom. The ideal soil type for your large leaf pothos is a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for houseplants, which often contains perlite or pumice to enhance drainage. Maintain a consistent room temperature between 65-85°F (18-29°C), and avoid sudden temperature drops. While Pothos can tolerate average household humidity, they will appreciate higher humidity, especially during drier months; misting or a pebble tray can help. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter. Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiency, while browning tips might suggest low humidity.
