The Satin Pothos
I have always loved big tropical plants, philodendrons and pothos. The Satin Pothos has been a wish list plant for me and it is one I got at the exchange. I am very grateful for a like minded group of plant loving folks nearby and ready to trade, exchange, and help you expand your own knowledge.
When I received this, it was barely rooted in a tiny pot. I went ahead and put it back in water to start growing the roots out again.
This week it started sprouting new growth!!
Plant Care
Although adaptive to almost any light, the Satin Pothos prefers bright indirect light.
Water when top few inches of soil is dry.
Plant in a good, nutrient rich, well draining soil. Fertilize about once a month through the growing season.
They like humidity, but it is better to put over a tray of pebbles and water than to mist. Ariel roots can absorb the water, possibly resulting in overwatering.
Did I mention Ariel roots? This plant can climb a moss pole, or trail. It's up to you. I plan to eventually have both.
This plant is mildly toxic, so avoid leaf munching by your 4 and 2 legged family members.
Repotting should be done approximately every 2 years before the start of the growing season.
You can propagate by cuttings rooted directly in soil or in water.
I research each plant I own to ensure I am treating them right. Instead of 'taking notes' I thought I would share with y'all. If you have any advice or input, please comment!! Hope you got some dirt under your nails today! 😁
