In a favorable climate, pothos can grow at a rate of 18-24 inches per month, which is fast.
However, when grown indoors, this fast growing rate reduces to slow. If you’re facing this issue
as well and want to grow pothos faster, follow these tips!
1. Give it More Light
This is most important-because Pothos can tolerate low light, most indoor plant
growers keep this plant at a spot that doesn’t even receive any indirect light. If
your pothos plant is showing no new growth from some time-Maybe it needs
more light.
Transfer it to a place that gets bright, indirect light, and you’ll notice the
difference in some days. An east-facing window is an apt choice as it can get
2-3 hours of gentle morning sunlight there as well.
2. Change the Pot
Make sure your pot is not huge for your pothos plant. In a large pot, first, the
houseplant will focus its energy on growing more roots, and you won’t see a
difference in top growth for months. Another problem is that it will remain
overly moist for a long time, which can lead to root rot.
Select a pot that is just one size bigger than the root ball of your devil’s ivy.
Keeping it slightly root bound will help in directing its energy to grow more from
the top.
3. Provide the Right Temperature
Golden pothos is a tropical vine, and it loves warmth-if you don’t provide this, it
will not grow. A temperature range of 60-85 F or (15-29 C) is recommended.
If it is too warm, the plant may start to shrivel. A long duration of exposure to
heat or direct sunlight will burn the leaves. Similarly, avoid exposing it to
temperatures below 50 F (10 C) as it will result in stunted growth and black
leaves.
4. Fertilize it Right
If you’re facing the problem of a slow-growing pothos plant, it could be due to a
lack of fertilization. To ensure that your plant grows rapidly, you need to feed it
regularly. Apply any balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once every 4-8 weeks in
1/2 or 1/4 strength.
Every other month, add one teaspoon of Epsom salt in a gallon of water while
watering the plant. This will improve the foliage color while giving the plant its
much-needed boost. You can also spray this solution on the foliage!
5. Use Some Caffeine
Your favorite houseplant might envy you for a cup of coffee you drink in front of
it. As caffeine aids in the biological process of plants and speeds up
photosynthesis-you can take advantage of its benefits.
For this, you can dress the pothos soil with used coffee grounds or spent tea
leaves sporadically.
6. Take Care of the Soil pH
It’s possible that your pothos plant might be struggling because of acidic or
alkaline soil. This vine does best in the neutral pH range of 6.1 to 7. To ensure
that it is getting the optimum range, getting a pH meter would be a great idea.
7. Maintain Right Humidity Levels
The plant is used to higher humidity levels than present in most homes. Misting
the foliage, keeping the plant on a pebble tray filled with water, and grouping
plants together is the best way to elevate humidity levels and watch the plant
grow faster! You can also run a humidifier around it.
8. Give it a Slight Pruning
Sometimes a pothos resumes its growth after slight pruning. If your plant is
leggy, pinch a few inches from the inactive stems to encourage new growth.
Also, if you want to increase its length to grow as a climber, keep only 4-5
branches and cut the rest regularly. This move will force the plant to diverts its
energy back to the remaining vines, and they’ll grow tall.

My pothos like terra cotta pots and the south facing windows. I used banana peels or Epsom salt, or coffee water to fertilize.
How do you use epsom salt and banana peels?
@@sirisri767 I cut banana peels in small pieces, let them dry out fir a few days. Then I take the pieces and add them to the soil. I take plain Epsom salt and add it to the soil mixture ..I have a big tub of soil, so like a 1/2 cup of Epsom salt. It helps the ph level in the soil to make your plants/ vegetables grow!
@@michellec.4994 thanks for the tips.
@@sirisri767 yes.. I compost my vegetables and fruit scraps, it helps richen the soil and provides nutrients for plants.
coffee water?
Thank you. Mine was outdoors and getting too cold at night. (mid 40s)
I'll bring it in. Hopefully this helps.
Обожаю ампельные растения. 😅 Невероятная красота и простота в уходе ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for these great tips
Amazing video
Thank you for this video, I was struggling with mine small leaves, but was in a pot too big, when I took it out there was alot of big roots, so very useful video. Hopefully now I will see more leaves 🍃 🙏 🙂
It will also grow larger leaves if you give it a moss pole or a trellis to climb on.
Mine has no new leaves in 6months since cuttings. But it has alot of roots. I'm going to change the pot.
I rescued a couple pothos plants that had been hung from a hook in the ceiling and placed near a window. They were in very bad shape. I placed them on my grow table where they get much more light than they did and it had a dramatic effect.
wait... -_-... I shouldn't hang it in front of my window??? I see new leaves, should I still take it down?
I have Pothos at home and I fertilize it with Ajinomoto...they are growing faster and Leaves are getting bigger and looking healthy.. Excited to see them at home after vacation.
How to use Ajinomoto for plants?
Heard first time to use azinomoto...
How about i use coco cubes? Is it okay?
Thank u
These plants are not a problem.I don’t do anything that is shown in this video and they grow beautiful.
That's hilarious
@@Graysonemory 🤷♂️
Very very nice
Thank you.
My ZZ Plants were under propagation are just like turning A bit yellow, is it normal?
Great advice. I am wondering if ground, diluted, caffeine tablets would work as well as coffee grounds?
i have mine 1.5 feet from a north facing window, and the leaves are turning yellow constantly. the light is there, but indirect. Is it lack of light, too much light, or a water issue? The succulents on the north side with direct sunlight are doing great, and the lucky bamboo right next to the pothos is doing great
Sounds like too much water, only water them when they start looking sad.
Should I use pots with drainage holes or ones that keep the water at the bottom?
You need drainage for pothos or it will get root rot.
Also make sure to use a fast draining soil mix. You don't want the soil to stay soggy and wet or you will end up with problems such as root rot or fungus gnats.
I have a pothos that's outside that I want to bring indoors. It is not sitting in direct sun because it is on my balcony that has no sun coming in. Just natural light. What can I do?
mix potting soil with 30-50% perlite or pumice. Bottom water it when needed about every 2 weeks to completely soak everything. Bundle up the roots and cram them into a small-ish pot. Becoming root bound isn't as big of a problem as people thing, it'll just go through more water. When it stops growing after becoming root bound, then you can up-pot by one size (~2" bigger pot)
Solid
1st fartilizer name please
What happens when it focus on growing roots instead of leaves on new cuttings?
It slows down the growth
It needs roots before it can put energy into leaves... roots uptake water and nutrients , leaves turn the sunlight into energy, can have leaves without roots.. Give it time, it's normal
I have two pothos in my bedroom. One is gorgeous and huge. The second one is not doing well.
eaiset plant to take cuttings off, but dont just stick a long stem in water, short nodes must be in water,
My pothos In fish tank is growing so fast I can barely keep up but my other plants in soil and in water are not showing any growth
Wow really no root rot?
Hi . I live in japan . My pothos are dying . Please help
No exposure to cold temperature so place it in warm place, give plenty of indirect light, and next 2 days nothing happen, u need to repot with a bit drier side of potting mix with perlite coz maybe there is root rot due to overwatering or pest or soil mixture too compact. Buy moisture meter to check soil before watering, I usually water mine if dry #2 or #3, pothos do not like watering too much, keep it in drier side. I've killed mine and learned from it. I have now thriving. u can save it
🌹🌹👍
Good info on annoying idiotic background "music".
Idk why I'm watching this. If my pothos grow better they will take over my house 😂
How long have you had the plants? I got mine about three months ago and it's barely grown. I don't know a lot about plants tho so I'm trying to not blame myself too much 😅
@@wikttiria2674 mine is 2-3 month old and I hot them as cuttings. They hang above my window and grow like crazy.
@@wikttiria2674 it depends on the light, pot size and how often you fertilize your plant 🥰
@@Kakira1234 ok, thank you 😄
What is your secret? Please share . I've killed 2 already . Thank you in advance!
I am having a terrible problem with some critter munching on all myvpathos leaves....... boooò
Me too 😭😭 i never see it happen but every time I go to water mine there's at least half a leaf that's been eaten off a couple of them. It drives me nuts, especially since they're indoors. I'm almost ready to accuse my toddler LMAO
Completely disregard number five that is not at all true.
Is too quick your video
