Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your jade pothos live plant is straightforward, making it an ideal choice for all levels of plant enthusiasts. This plant, also known as epipremnum aureum, is quite tolerant, but providing optimal conditions will ensure lush, healthy growth.

Light: The Jade Pothos thrives in low to bright indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its growth may slow, and the foliage might appear less vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight, especially harsh afternoon rays, as this can scorch the leaves and cause them to turn yellow or brown. An east-facing window or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window is often ideal for optimal growth.

Water: Water your Jade Pothos when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. It’s better to underwater slightly than to overwater, as Pothos plants are susceptible to root rot in waterlogged soil. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom. During winter months or in lower light, reduce watering frequency. If leaves start to droop, it’s usually a sign that the plant needs water.

Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix for your epipremnum aureum. A standard indoor potting soil amended with perlite or orchid bark works well to improve drainage and aeration. This kind of soil mix prevents water retention, which is crucial for preventing root rot and maintaining a healthy root system for your pothos plant care.

Temperature & Humidity: Jade Pothos prefers average room temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations and cold drafts. While it tolerates average household humidity, it will appreciate higher humidity, especially during dry winter months. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves occasionally, placing the pot on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier.

Fertilization: Feed your jade pothos live plant with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing during fall and winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows down. Always follow the fertilizer’s instructions for dilution to avoid over-fertilization.

Pruning: Prune your Jade Pothos to maintain its desired shape and size, or to encourage bushier growth. You can trim back long, leggy vines just above a leaf node. These cuttings can also be propagated in water or soil to create new plants. Regular pruning helps promote a fuller, more attractive plant.
