The Jade Pothos is native to parts of Asia and is characterised by its gorgeous shiny, dark green heart-shaped leaves and its versatility in the ways it can be grown. In the wild, it is known to overgrow forest floors and tree trunks due to its aerial root system. In good indoor conditions, you can expect the Jade Pothos to trail over 10m long. This Pothos is particularly fitting for indoor settings because it is able to filter gaseous toxins like formaldehyde from the air.

It can be grown as a statement piece in 3 ways, the first is to grow it as a trailing plant that hangs in a waterfall of lush green leaves and will get bushier over time. The second way is to grow it in a trailing fashion and can be tacked to the wall or a piece of furniture with sticky picture hooks in order to plan the vines into your interior to suit. The third way is to grow it up a plant stake and pin the stems to the stake at various intervals. This will encourage larger leaf growth and a more lush looking plant. All these options make this plant a fantastic option for any space and will have you in awe of its beauty in no time.

Position:

Jade Pothos love bright, well lit areas as well as shadier spots making this plant very versatile when used for home styling. Make sure to avoid direct sunlight and warmth is this vine’s best friend.

Water:

Letting the top 3cm of the soil dry out in between watering is ideal. It likes a good soak (depending on size) roughly once a week in summer months and once every two weeks in winter months.

Feed:

Feed monthly during the spring and summer with a water-soluble plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength - Use our organic seaweed fertilizer for best results.

Humidity:

Normal room humidity is fine however, we recommend you use a humidity tray filled with pebbles or leca balls and half-filled with water, with your plant pot placed on top. Top up the water if necessary when watering your plant but make sure the water level stays below the top of the pebbles/leca balls so the plant roots can breathe. The humidity from the tray will keep the leaves lush and the roots moist.

Soil:

Pothos prefer a well drained soil mix - Use our Pothos soil mix for best results.
