|Pothos are climbing plants that like to root their vines. They will either need specific poles to grow on, or be periodically trimmed.
|Providing this plant with the necessary light and humidity levels can be challenging due to its size. A large grow light can benefit this plant. A humidifier is recommended to prevent its leaves from browning, as well as to repel spider mite pests. This plant can be challenging to diagnose because it often kills off its lower parts to support new growth,; therefore, it requiresfrequent trimming for aesthetic purposes.

There is a lot of confusion as to how to water a plant, and how much water it needs, and often the instructions provided with plant purchase are inadequate if not detrimental instructions on how to water them. Many large corporations that sell these plants are more interested in making the plant appear as easy to maintain as possible, rather than the longevity of the plant. It's important before you water your plant that you know a bit about pots, so we will start there.
