Frequently Asked Questions
Are Pothos toxic to cats?
Pothos can be irritating to cats, dogs, and humans if foliage is consumed. We advise keeping houseplants out of reach of small children and pets.

My Pothos is bare at the base, how do I fix it?
To rejuvenate a pothos that is bare at the soil, try the layering method! Gently lay one of the longer, healthy vines onto the soil surface, securing it with floral pins or paper clips so the nodes (where
leaves and aerial roots form) make contact with the soil. In a few weeks, the nodes will develop roots, creating new growth at the base. If you don't have a long vine to layer with, you can always propagate stem cuttings from your plant to root and plant at the soil surface!

How much light does a Neon Pothos need to keep its bright color?
A Neon Pothos requires bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its glowing neon hue. While it can survive remarkably well in low-light conditions, a lack of light will cause the plant to produce more chlorophyll to compensate. As a result, its electric neon color will slowly fade into a dull forest green color.

Why is my Neon Pothos growing dark green spots or streaks?
If you notice patches or streaks of dark green on your neon leaves, your plant is experiencing a minor genetic reversion. Because the Neon Pothos is a cultivated mutation of a naturally dark green species, it will occasionally try to revert to maximize its photosynthetic efficiency, especially if it isn't getting enough light.

How do you make a Neon Pothos fuller and bushier?
By nature, pothos plants are climbers and trailers that grow in long, singular vines. If left completely unpruned, the top of the pot can begin to look sparse and leggy. Regularly pruning the trailing ends of your vines just below a leaf node during the spring or summer months can help force the plant to branch out just below the cut.
