Maintaining an optimal temperature within the room where the pothos resides is crucial. It should neither be too hot nor too cold; maintaining temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius is ideal. Additionally, providing a mossy tutor for the plant to climb is essential for stability.
Consider that the pothos requires a substrate suitable for tropical plants, capable of retaining water without causing root-related issues. An ideal substrate comprises earthworm humus, perlite, pumice stone, and pine bark.
This substrate ensures water retention in the soil, keeping the roots consistently moist without the formation of water puddles. Adequate misting, done weekly, is also crucial to maintaining the right humidity levels for the pothos. Misting is preferred over direct water droplets to prevent issues for smaller leaves.
