POTHOS, A GREAT FRIEND FROM HOME
Pothos are one of the most popular plants in Spanish homes. Perhaps it has earned this popularity not only because of its purifying qualities, but above all, because of the elegance that marks its leaves and its ornamental qualities. A perfect plant for those who are not certainly skilled with gardening, but also for those who want to enjoy an undemanding plant in their home. It is a very easy-care, fast growing and multiplying plant. An icon of the Mediterranean houses!

Furthermore, depending on the variety, the Pothos are capable of growing vertically (as a climber) but also downwards (hanging). A plant that allows us to play with its appearance as part of the decoration of our house.

POTHOS CARE
Inside plants.
Ideal temperature: between 16 and 21 ºC.
Light: they need to be in bright spaces and filtered light, for example through a curtain. Do not expose to direct sunlight. Pothos thrives in indirect light all year long, direct sunlight will burn the leaves, while low light will turn the leaves pale green.
Irrigation: 1 irrigation/week. Once the substrate is dry. In case you overwater, the Pothos will warn you by yellowing its typical green leaves.
Nutrients: follow directions of CitySens nutrients. Fertilize every month in the growth period and every three months in the resting period.
Substrate: important is that the substrate in which it grows is as complete as possible.
Ambient humidity: high level of ambient humidity.
Pothos are slightly toxic to pets. Ingestion can cause stomach irritation and possible vomiting.

Pothos Pictus
The Pothos Pictus or Silver Pothos (Scindapsus pictus) is unique for its thick velvety leaves and its unique silver spots. Yes, silver!
It comes from hot and humid places: specifically from the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia. There they climb happily on the trunks of the trees. However, in colder climates, such as the Mediterranean, they must be grown indoors.
The Pothos Pictus is a captivating vine… a true delight as a decorative indoor plant. It stores water inside, so it can withstand heat and drought very well. A unique and grateful species - and also an air purifier. Besides, this plant is a warrior. It can withstand large amounts of light (always indirect) as well as thrive in low light conditions.
The Pothos Pictus is one of the most desired and most difficult ones to find. There is no other plant like it, SPECTACULAR!
