One often made mistake while watering your plants is underwatering. Should the ground remain frozen and continually dry, the leaves may curl up, turn brown, or develop crispy edges.
Customize your watering schedule for the surrounds of your plant to avoid that. Plants in hot, sunny rooms, for example, may require more frequent watering; plants in cooler or more shaded areas could be watered less often.
Just as crucial is choosing a pot with enough drainage holes. Without drainage holes, water can gather at the bottom and suffocate roots and breeding germs causing root rot can result.
Put your pothos in a separate nursery pot that lets drain any water that builds up in the outer container if you are planting in a pot without drainage holes.
Your pothos may surprisingly respond to water temperature. Cold water could shock the roots, therefore slowing down development and generating stress.
Use room-temperature water always to maintain the health of the roots of the plant. High mineral content tap water can also lead to salt build-up in the soil, which might over time endanger your pothos.
To stop white crusts on the ground or browning leaf tips, think about using filtered or distilled water. Sometimes flushing the soil with water also helps eliminate extra minerals.
