Pothos survives as soon as it meets water and has strong vitality. Whether potted or hydroponic, it can grow as long as it is given a proper amount of water. When planting, water an appropriate amount onto the soil surface at the plant's roots. When it is dry, spray clean water on the leaves, and regularly prune yellow leaves.
