How to Care for a Pothos Plant — Horticulturists Tips to Nurture This Graceful Houseplant and Help it to Flourish

A pothos sits on a wall shelf beside a frame.

The pothos — perhaps more commonly known as Devil's Ivy — is one of the most popular houseplants out there. Universally loved for its low-maintenance propensity and its heart-shaped leaves that grow on twirly tendrils, the pothos is the perfect greenery to brighten boring corners, plain windowsills, and drab tabletops. Better still, it's really easy to care for, too.

There's good reason why this beginner-friendly greenery has become one of the most popular houseplants. This leafy decor is super adaptable, tolerating a variety of conditions without demanding much attention at all. If you're a "hands off" kind of plant parent, you and the pothos are definitely well-matched.
