Pothos Global Green Light Needs
Pothos Global Green grows best in a well lit space with bright indirect sunlight, and can adapt to both direct sunlight and low light. Avoid placing it in spaces without natural sunlight.

How Big Will My Pothos Global Green Grow?
Pothos Global Green is a fast-growing plant that can quickly trail or climb when given support. It can reach lengths of up to 10 feet or more indoors, making it a striking addition to any space. If the vines start growing too long for your liking, you can easily prune them back to keep the plant at a manageable size and encourage fuller growth. Regular rotation of the plant will also help maintain even growth and a lush appearance.
Temperature & Humidity
Pothos Global Green thrives in typical indoor temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C – 29°C). It’s important to keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as these can stress the plant. This plant is adaptable to a range of humidity levels, making it suitable for most indoor environments. However, it will appreciate slightly higher humidity levels, similar to its native tropical habitat. If the air in your home is particularly dry, consider using a humidity tray or placing the plant near other plants to create a more humid microenvironment.
Is Pothos Global Green Toxic for Pets & Kids?
Pothos Global Green is mildly toxic if ingested by pets or humans. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and discomfort if consumed. Symptoms may include mouth and throat irritation, drooling, and difficulty swallowing for pets, and similar effects for humans. To keep your household safe, place your Pothos Global Green in locations that are out of reach of curious pets and children, as high shelves, atop cabinets, or on top of tall furniture. These spots not only protect your loved ones but also allow the plant’s trailing vines to be displayed beautifully.
Troubleshooting Common Problems with Pothos Global Green
In the first few days after bringing your Pothos Global Green into its new home, it's normal to see some signs of adjustment, such as slight drooping or a few yellowing leaves. These are usually temporary and should resolve as the plant acclimates to its new environment. For general care, if you notice persistent drooping or yellowing, it could be due to overwatering. Make sure you’re following the easyplant watering instructions, allowing the reservoir to empty completely before refilling it, no more than once a month. Crispy or browning tips may indicate low humidity or underwatering. If you suspect pests, check for small, discolored spots or sticky residue on the leaves. Common pests include spider mites, which appear as tiny moving dots, or scale, which look like small raised bumps on the stems or leaves. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap. Regularly cleaning the leaves with a damp cloth can help prevent pests and keep your plant healthy.
