care. It definitely dislikes soggy roots. Tip: The leaves droop when the plant is thirsty and needs a
drink. But don’t let this wilt-y stage go for too long or you will start to see leaf drop Grow in any
well-draining potting soil Pothos is a light feeder, Feed the plant with balanced houseplant fertilizer
each month during the spring and summer. The growing medium should be well aerated. Plants

every other month, except during the winter when the plant is not actively growing. Pesticides
may be used to control these insects, but often it is better to discard the plant and start over with
clean plants or cuttings. Spider mites occasionally infest pothos and can easily be controlled with
thorough cleaning and frequent applications of insecticidal soap. It does best in filtered light, with
high humidity, and temperatures between 70 and 90°F

stalks.
