LIGHT
The Snow Queen Pothos is a fantastic indoor plant as it thrives in bright, indirect light. Although not ideal, the Snow Queen Pothos will tolerate low light. This beauty is one of the most adaptive indoor plants and will adapt to lighting conditions indoors. However, I suggest placing it in a bright location in your home to ensure you get the most out of the stunning foliage. In ideal conditions, the Snow Queen Pothos will aid in purifying the indoor air, removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene.
WATER
The Snow Queen Pothos is a slightly thirsty plant and you should water moderately. Avoid overwatering by pinching the top of the soil and checking for moisture. If the soil is dry, you’ll need to water, if the soil still has some moisture, hold off watering. The Snow Queen Pothos does not like water-logged roots, so diligence around watering is important. Thankfully, the Snow Queen Pothos is forgiving to underwatering. Too much watering will lead to wilted and discoloured leaves.
SOIL
Your Snow Queen Pothos’s roots need to remain aerated, for this, a balanced soil blend of perlite, coarse sand, and peat moss is ideal. This will keep the roots of your Snow Queen Pothos happy, allowing water to drain freely while retaining moisture and avoiding water-logged roots. For sufficient nutrients, the soil of your Snow Queen Pothos should remain neutral to slightly acidic. This will ensure your hanging beauty radiates its stunning foliage.
The Snow Queen Pothos is a fantastic way to brighten up any space with its beautiful speckled leaves and long limbs. And can be propagated through stem cuttings to multiply the joyful plant. To learn more about hanging plants, check out our latest articles here.
