Light

Pearls and Jade pothos require several hours of bright, indirect light daily to support their variegated foliage. Avoid placing these plants in direct sunlight as their papery-thin leaves are sensitive to leaf burn. Directly in front of a north- or east-facing window or a couple of feet back from a west- or south-facing window are all ideal locations for these pothos.

Soil

These plants do best when planted in rich, airy, and well-draining soil. Pearls and Jade prefer potting soil that allows for good air circulation around its roots. They enjoy moist conditions but are sensitive to root rot if exposed to soggy soil. A mixture of equal parts potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal for Pearls and Jade pothos.

Water

Like most pothos plants, Pearls and Jade pothos enjoy regular watering but can withstand some drought if needed. They should be watered once the top 1 to 2 inches of soil has dried out. Before watering, test the moisture in your plant's soil with your finger or a moisture meter.

The exact watering frequency will change slightly depending on the time of year. For example, during the spring and summer, when daylight hours are plentiful, and temperatures are warmer, you may need to water your Pearls and Jade pothos once a week, while in the fall and winter, you may only need to water them once every two weeks.

Also, some choose to grow these pothos in water, which is possible if given supplemental nutrients. However, this method is not recommended since this plant prefers air circulating its roots.

Temperature and Humidity

Pearls and Jade pothos are tropical plants that do best in warm, slightly humid conditions. For the most part, standard household temperature and humidity levels are acceptable for these plants, although if your home is on the dry side, you may want to provide your plant with some extra humidity to help it thrive.

Ensure that your Pearls and Jade pothos is not exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). While these plants are most common as houseplants, you can grow Pearls and Jade pothos outdoors year-round in USDA zones 9 through 12 if you wish.

Fertilizer

During the spring and summer, these pothos benefit from monthly fertilization with a balanced liquid fertilizer designed for indoor plants. For the amount to use, follow product label instructions. Stop fertilizing your plant in the fall and winter months when it no longer grows.
