Pearls & Jade Pothos 4 inch

Light

Pearls and jade pothos require several hours of bright, indirect light every day to support their variegated foliage. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as their papery-thin leaves are sensitive to leaf burn. Ideal locations include directly in front of a north- or east-facing window, or a couple of feet back from a west- or south-facing window.

Soil

These plants thrive in soil that is rich, airy, and well-draining. They enjoy moist conditions but are sensitive to root rot if exposed to soggy soil. A mixture of equal parts potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal for pearls and jade pothos.

Water

Pearls and jade pothos enjoy regular watering but can withstand some drought. Water once the top 1 to 2 inches of soil has dried out, adjusting based on the season. In spring and summer, when days are longer and warmer, water once a week. In fall and winter, water every two weeks. Check soil moisture before watering using your finger or a moisture meter.

Temperature and Humidity

These tropical plants prefer warm, slightly humid conditions. Standard household temperature and humidity levels are usually suitable, but provide extra humidity if your home is dry. Keep pearls and jade pothos away from temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). While common as houseplants, you can grow them outdoors year-round in USDA zones 9 through 12.
