With easyplant’s self-watering system, caring for your Global Green Pothos is effortless. Simply check the easyplant reservoir once a month and top it up when it’s empty! The self-watering system ensures your plant receives the right amount of moisture consistently, preventing both overwatering and underwatering.

The Global Green Pothos grows best in a well-lit space with bright, indirect sunlight, and it can adapt to both direct sunlight and lower light levels. Avoid placing it in areas with no natural sunlight.

The Global Green Pothos is a hardy and adaptable plant, perfect for adding a lush, natural touch to your home with minimal effort. It thrives in a range of lighting conditions, making it suitable for various spots around your space. To keep your Pothos looking vibrant, place it in bright, indirect light and follow the easyplant watering schedule. Regularly rotate the plant to ensure even growth and gently clean the leaves to maintain their shine. With just a bit of attention, your Pothos will flourish beautifully.

The Global Green Pothos is a fast-growing plant that can quickly trail or climb when given support. It can reach lengths of up to 3 metres or more indoors, making it a striking addition to any space. If the vines grow too long for your liking, you can easily prune them back to keep the plant manageable and encourage fuller growth. Regularly rotating the plant will also help maintain even growth and a lush appearance.

The Global Green Pothos thrives in typical indoor temperatures between 18°C and 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.

The Global Green Pothos 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 Global Green Pothos in locations that are out of reach of curious pets and children, such as on high shelves, cabinets, or tall furniture. These spots not only protect your loved ones but also allow the plant’s trailing vines to be beautifully displayed.

In the first few days after bringing your Global Green Pothos 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. 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, discoloured 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.
