Know before you buy
Yes, the Jade Pothos is highly adaptable and can tolerate lower light conditions. While it will survive in dim corners, it will grow more vigorously and maintain its vibrant green color when placed in bright, indirect light.
You should water your plant only when the soil has dried out. Check the moisture level by feeling the top inch of soil; if it is dry, it is time to water thoroughly until liquid drains from the pot.
No, the Jade Pothos is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is completely inaccessible to your pets.
To achieve a bushier appearance, you can occasionally trim the vining stems. Pruning encourages the plant to branch out and produce more foliage rather than just growing longer, single vines.
The Jade Pothos is a relatively slow-to-moderate grower that typically only requires repotting every 1 to 2 years. You will know it is time to move to a larger pot when you see roots growing out of the drainage hole or circling the surface of the soil.
Yes, as a vining plant, the Jade Pothos is an excellent candidate for climbing. You can gently secure the vines to a moss pole, trellis, or wall hooks to guide its growth upward.
