With common names Devil’s Ivy and Devil’s Vine， you’d expect pothos to be difficult to deal with， but the opposite is true. Pothos is a fast-growing and adaptable houseplant that thrives in a variety of conditions. It’s ability to do well under fluorescent lighting makes it an ideal choice for offices， schools， businesses and hospital settings.

Moderate indirect light is best pothos will adapt to most lighting conditions foliage looking scorched could mean too much direct light not enough light will cause slower growth and longer internodes

Soil should nearly dry out between waterings， if the plant is being overwatered， the new and old foliage will turn a pale yellow color not enough water will show a limp plant and eventually brittle brown edges

Treat the foliage with neem oil monthly to discourage pests and keep leaves shiny and beautiful

Fertilize the plant monthly with a general houseplant fertilizer

Pothos enjoy high humidity but can tolerate general household levels

Pothos should be pruned back if they begin trailing too long which will help promote new， bushier growth
