Care Instructions for Money Plant, Pothos Combo (Golden + Marble Prince):

1. Light Requirements: Both Golden Pothos and Marble Prince Pothos thrive in bright, indirect light. They will also tolerate low light conditions, though their growth may slow, and the variegation in the leaves might fade. Avoid direct sunlight for long periods, as it can scorch the leaves and damage the plant.
2. Watering: Water the plants when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Be careful not to overwater, as Pothos are prone to root rot if left sitting in waterlogged soil. In general, water about once a week during the growing season (spring and summer), and reduce watering in the winter months when the plant is dormant. Always ensure the plant’s pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
3. Soil Requirements: Pothos plants prefer well-draining soil. A general-purpose potting mix works well, but for extra drainage, you can add perlite or sand. The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.1-7.5).
4. Temperature: Pothos plants are tropical and thrive in temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Keep the plants in a warm room away from drafts and cold windows. They can tolerate a bit of variation but avoid placing them in areas with temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as they are sensitive to cold.
5. Fertilization: Feed your Pothos once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. During the winter months, you can reduce fertilization, as the plant is in a dormant phase and doesn’t require as much nutrition.
6. Pruning: Regular pruning helps keep your Pothos plants looking full and tidy. Trim any long, leggy vines or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a bushy appearance. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to prevent any damage to the plant.
7. Repotting: Pothos plants grow relatively quickly and may need to be repotted every 1-2 years. Choose a pot that’s 1-2 inches larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging and encourage proper root development. Always make sure the new pot has drainage holes.
8. Support for Vining Growth: Both Golden and Marble Prince Pothos are vining plants and will grow best if they have something to climb on. Consider providing a trellis, moss pole, or support stake if you want to encourage upward growth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How often should I water my Money Plant (Pothos Combo)?
A: Water your Pothos when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. On average, watering once a week is sufficient during the growing season (spring and summer). In winter, reduce watering frequency since the plant’s growth slows down.

Q: Can I grow my Pothos in low light?
A: Yes, Pothos plants are very tolerant of low light conditions, but they grow best in bright, indirect light. In lower light, the plants may grow slower, and the variegation in the leaves may not be as pronounced.

Q: Is the Pothos Combo pet-friendly?
A: Unfortunately, Pothos plants are toxic to pets (cats, dogs, and other animals) if ingested. The sap contains compounds that can cause digestive upset. It’s important to keep the plant out of reach of pets, or consider placing it in a hanging pot or high-up location.

Q: Why are the leaves of my Pothos turning yellow?
A: Yellowing leaves can be a sign of overwatering, especially if the soil is soggy. Ensure that the plant is not sitting in excess water and that the pot has proper drainage. Yellowing can also occur if the plant is in low light or under stress, such as sudden temperature changes.

Q: How can I make my Pothos grow faster?
A: Pothos grow quickly when provided with bright, indirect light, consistent watering, and regular feeding during the growing season. Providing a trellis or support for the vines to climb can also encourage upward growth and fuller plants.

Q: Can I place my Pothos near a window?
A: Yes, Pothos plants thrive near windows with bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in areas with direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves. A south-facing window with filtered light works well for these plants.
