Pothos (golden pothos, Epipremnum aureum) is the easiest, most adaptable entry-level vine — trailing, climbing or growing in water.
Light — Pothos care
Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates low light (growth slows, leaves shrink, variegation fades). About 90–180 cm from a window is ideal. Highly variegated varieties revert to green in dim corners.
Watering
Let the top 2.5–5 cm of soil dry, then water thoroughly. Ensure good drainage.
Water vs soil
One of the few plants that lives indefinitely in water, with changes every 5–7 days; water-grown roots are thicker and whiter.
Propagation (extremely easy)
Cut a 10–15 cm section just below a node, place in 5–7.5 cm of room-temperature water, change every 5–7 days, roots in about 7–14 days, pot up at 5–7.5 cm roots.
Office appeal: A water-grown pothos on a desk is clean, pest-free and therapeutic. In pet households, place high or choose a non-toxic alternative.
