Best Locations For Growing Silver Ann Pothos
Silver Ann is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where it can receive bright indirect light. Hang it near windows or place it on shelves where its trailing vines can be showcased. Keep in mind that this plant is toxic to pets and children if ingested, so it's best to position it out of their reach.
Silver Ann Pothos Sunlight Requirements
This pothos prefers bright indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Place it near east or north-facing windows for optimal growth. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade their variegation.
Silver Ann Pothos Care
Plant in well-draining potting soil rich in peat moss and perlite to ensure proper drainage. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Prune regularly to encourage bushier growth and remove any yellowing leaves. Repot every one to two years when roots begin to emerge from drainage holes.
Watering Silver Ann Pothos
Water when the top two inches of soil feel dry to the touch, typically once a week. Ensure thorough watering until water drains from the bottom, but avoid letting the plant sit in standing water. Silver Ann likes moderate to high humidity; consider using a pebble tray or humidifier if the air is too dry.
Feeding Silver Ann Pothos
Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring to fall) with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. This promotes healthy growth and maintains the plant's lush foliage. Reduce feeding during the winter months when growth slows.
