How do you care for a Global Green Pothos?
The Global Green Pothos is very easy to care for. Place it in a bright room. If you’d like it in a window, place it in an east, north or west facing window. A south facing window will burn the leaves. Water it once a week.
How often should you water a Global Green Pothos?
Pothos are very forgiving plants. Though they prefer to be a little bit on the drier side. Allow the soil to dry out between water applications. Typically if you water your Global Green Pothos once a week that should keep it happy and healthy.
Watering truly depends on a couple of factors such as your plant’s soil mixture and the type of pot its planted in. If your plant is potted in a more peat-based mixture, then you may not have to water it as often as peat retains and holds onto water for longer. If you plant is potted in more well draining mixture, then the soil will dry faster, and you may have to water more frequently.
The pot is also an important factor. If you plant is potted in an unglazed terracotta pot, terracotta wicks up moisture so your soil will dry out faster. You may have to check and water your plant more frequently, as opposed to a plastic pot, which doesn’t wick away moisture. As a good rule of thumb when you get a new plant it is good practice to check your plant every few days to see how often it takes for the soil to dry. This will help you figure out how often you should water your plant.
Do Global Green Pothos Like to be misted?
Pothos thrive in standard household humidity. You can mist your Pothos if you like, but misting will not provide any extra benefit to the Global Green Pothos.
How do you keep the Variegation on Global Green pothos?
Variegated plants require brighter and more light than their un-variegated counterparts. To keep the variegation and prevent your Global Green from reverting, place your Global Green Pothos place in a bright location where it will receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight a day. Keep in mind that placing your Pothos is a south facing window will burn the white on the leaves.
