Golden and Marble Pothos hanging outside. They are enjoying the warm weather and growing like crazy!



Pothos are one of the easiest house plants to take care of. It likes bright indirect light. Too much direct sun burns the leaves. Not enough light and they lose their varigation. They can handle lower light conditions, but the better light they recieve the better the varigation will be in the leaves. Any room in your house is good as long as it has a window. I only have three types but there's several different ones. Golden Pothos which has a yellow gold varigation in the leaves. Marble Queen pothos has white varigation marbled through the leaves. The Marble Queen has more varigation than Golden pothos. Satin Pothos has silver splotching varigation in the leaves. They don't like to be dry and will droop when they are thirsty. They will even grow in water but don't water too much if planted in soil. They like humidity so mist them a couple times a week unless you have a humidifier. If given the right care will grow quite quickly. They are a tropical so they don't like cold so try to keep away from drafts. Any questions just ask.
