Pothos (or Devil's Ivy)

Pothos is very easy to care for. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions, though variegation may fade. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. It prefers average room temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Trim regularly to maintain desired shape and promote bushier growth.
