Pothos

Description

Potos are climbing plants, or trailing, highly adaptable to life indoors. The leaves, heart-shaped, glossy and firm, are often variegated with yellow and ivory.

Cultivation

Good light but no sun: this is a rule that holds for almost all house plants, including Potos, which prefer a temperature of around 18°. Universal potting soil makes a suitable growing medium. The pot should preferably be of modest size and should be changed every year while the plant is dormant. Watering should be abundant during the growing season and moderate in winter. Spraying the leaves is excellent. It is advisable to add fertiliser to the watering water every three weeks. Potos also grow very well in hydroculture.

Propagation

Propagation by tip cuttings is almost always successful. The cuttings should first be placed in water, then the preferred growing method can be chosen.
