Adjusting Pothos Care for Low-Light Office Environments

Adjusting Pothos Care for Low-Light Office Environments

Moving to a cubicle with only artificial light reduced the plant's photosynthetic rate, but your watering schedule stayed the same. The result: yellow leaves (overwatering) and drooping (roots can't take up water in soggy soil).

Fix

• Cut back watering frequency and volume. Let the soil dry deeper between waterings.
• Yellow leaves won't recover—trim them off.
• New growth will adapt to the lower light.

Pothos is tough; with less water, it will stabilize and stay green.
