Golden Pothos Care: Watering, Fertilizing, and Repotting Advice

Pothos is a great beginner plant. It prefers bright indirect light or artificial light—avoid direct sun (morning sun is okay).

Watering

Water by weight: after a thorough watering, note the pot's heaviness. Don't water again until it feels much lighter and the soil surface is pale. Overwatering (too frequent) kills more plants than the amount given at once.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced indoor plant fertilizer (e.g., Miracle-Gro) monthly at label rates. This keeps the plant healthy and vigorous.

Repotting

Only repot when the plant is very root-bound—watering becomes constant, growth stalls, or thick roots exit drainage holes. Go up just 2 inches in pot diameter.
