Winter watering is usually every 7-10 days and once a week in warm months.<\/p>\n<p>The sure way to see if your emerald pothos needs water is if it is dry 2 inches down into the soil. If it is, give it a moderate amount of water and make sure that extra water drains out of the drainage holes on the bottom of the pot.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_your_plant\"><\/span>Know your plant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Overwatering usually turns the leaves yellow, so if you notice lighter green leaves, allow your pothos to dry out before watering again.<\/p>\n<p>Too little water will cause the leaves to droop and fall off.

It may need to be supplemented with a room humidifier in the cooler months. A good humidity level can be accomplished indoors by taking the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mist the plant leaves 2 or 3 times each week.<\/li>\n<li>Place the plant on top of a tray filled with water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Humidity_and_Fertilizer\"><\/span>Humidity and Fertilizer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A sign that the humidity in your home environment is not high enough for the emerald pothos is falling leaves from the plant. Another sign is leaves turning dark in shades up to dark brown.<\/p>\n<p>Emerald pothos plants don&#8217;t need fertilizer, but they do require soil that drains well. Sitting water in their pot can cause root problems and lead to a very sick plant.<\/p>\n<p>The growth rate of the pothos is medium to fast growing. Fertilizer probably won&#8217;t help it to grow faster.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to have a healthy emerald pothos is to provide the proper light, water, and humidity for your plant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You might also like <a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/baltic-blue-vs-cebu-blue\/\">Baltic Blue vs Cebu Blue<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_can_I_do_to_prevent_overwatering_my_emerald_pothos\"><\/span>what can I do to prevent overwatering my emerald pothos?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can add perlite to regular potting soil.
