Care Instructions
Water:
Do not over-water! Too much water will kill your plant, too little
is no problem. If you water too little, your plant's leaves will
start to dry out, brown and brittle, and all of the soil will be
like dust. When you do water, just dump in around a third of a cup.
Once a week should do it - wait until the top inch of soil is dry.
Grooming:
Your pothos will grow! If you pinch back the leaves at the end of
each stem, it will stay nice and bushy. If you pull the leaves off
along the stems, it will "race," getting long and stringy. Experiment,
and don't be afraid to cut the whole thing way back.
Light:
This plant is low maintaince - it can live under florescent lights
or in a bathroom. Some indirect sunlight is best, but don't worry
about giving it more light unless the leaves start to pale.
Fertilizer:
If you want to, a heavily diluted dose of fertilizer mixed in with
the water every 6 weeks will keep your plant at maximum growth.
Don't do it unless you need to: there is enough nutrient in the
soil to last for several months.
Boots:
When you are done with the plant (or the plant is done with you!)
throw it on the compost heap and use the cute boots as a pencil
holder, vase, or candy dish. If you want to put another plant in
them, we recommend poking holes in the soles for drainage.
