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.
