Pothos is very easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions (though variegation may fade). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot. It thrives in average room temperatures and humidity. Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
