Pothos (Devil's Ivy)
🌿 Pothos – The Effortless Trailing Beauty
Overview
Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), also known as Devil’s Ivy, is a popular and versatile indoor plant loved for its trailing vines and marbled green or golden leaves. Native to Southeast Asia, this low-maintenance plant thrives in hydroponic setups and is perfect for anyone looking to green up their space with minimal effort.
☀️ Lighting Conditions
Pothos do best in bright, indirect light, but they’re also extremely tolerant of low-light conditions, making them suitable for darker rooms or offices. Avoid strong, direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
💧 Growing in Hydroponics
Pothos is one of the easiest plants to grow in water. Choose a clear or coloured glass jar and place only the roots in water, keeping the base of the stem above the waterline. Refresh the water every 10–14 days and clean the jar to avoid build-up. Add hydroponic nutrients monthly to encourage strong growth and vibrant foliage.
🌱 Care Tips & Growth Habits
- Trim back long vines to maintain a fuller shape or encourage branching.
- Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and shiny.
- If stems become leggy, snip and propagate them in water – they root easily!
- Pothos will naturally trail or climb depending on its environment.
