1. Light:If pothos is kept in light that is too dim or too strong, its leaves will fade. It needs to be placed in a spot with scattered light and slight shade, and of course ventilation is a must. This plant likes a warm, well-ventilated environment; if the temperature is too low it will wither, and the temperature for overwintering should be at least above 5°C.
2. Soil:To make pothos leaves dark green and robust, the growing medium should meet its requirements as much as possible. The best medium for pothos is a loose, organic-rich, slightly acidic sandy loam. If peat can be used for cultivation, that is even better.
3. Water:Do not water too much; spray some water at the rooting area to reduce water evaporation. When watering, be careful not to let water accumulate, and just keep the soil moist.
4. Reasonable fertilizing is one of the key elements for making pothos leaves dark green and robust. During the growing season, apply nitrogen fertilizer 1 to 2 times per month. In winter, fertilizing can be reduced. To enhance the resistance of pothos, an appropriate additional application of some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before winter is helpful.
5. Prune diseased branches and diseased leaves:Promptly cut off poorly developed or weak, diseased branches and yellow leaves, so that it can grow more densely. If you want pothos to produce a hanging effect or grow as a climbing vine, then you need to prune the weak branches; if you want it to grow as a climbing vine, you need to give it some support to let it grow upward.
