Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your pearl and jade pothos cutting is straightforward, ensuring a thriving and beautiful plant with minimal effort. Understanding its basic needs will help you successfully propagate and grow your new plant. Begin by placing the unrooted cutting in a glass of water, ensuring the node (the bump on the stem where roots and leaves emerge) is submerged. Change the water once a week to keep it fresh and prevent bacterial growth. You will typically see roots developing within a few weeks. Once the roots are about an inch long, the cutting is ready to be transferred to soil.

For optimal growth, plant your rooted variegated pothos care in a well-draining potting mix. A chunky aroid mix is ideal as it provides good aeration and drainage, preventing root rot. Place the plant in a location that receives bright, indirect light. While Pothos can tolerate lower light, the variegation will be more vibrant with sufficient indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away. Overwatering is a common mistake, so always check the soil moisture before watering again. The ideal temperature range for Pearl and Jade Pothos is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. This easy care houseplants variety is quite resilient, but keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs, treating them promptly if they appear. Pruning can encourage bushier growth and help maintain the desired shape and length of your vines.
