It grows quickly, about 30cm tall in a pot and trailing a metre or more, and it brightens a shelf, a basket or a post without any fuss. Pothos is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, so hang it out of reach of pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarbled leaves.\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft variegation in shades of green gives each leaf its own pattern, and brightens a dull corner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick and easy.\u003c\/strong\u003e A fast grower that stays fresh all year and rewards very little attention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrails or climbs.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let it cascade from a pot, climb a post, or scramble up a moss pole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdapts to light.\u003c\/strong\u003e It thrives in bright, indirect light and tolerates lower light, though its variegation is strongest in good light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood for new plant owners.\u003c\/strong\u003e Few indoor plants are as forgiving of a missed watering or a gap in routine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging pots and shelves.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant one per hanging pot so the vines can cascade.

Plant in a sheltered position and avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Outdoors it suits frost-free tropical and subtropical gardens. It is frost tender, so elsewhere grow it indoors. In warm, humid regions, keep it in a pot or basket rather than the ground, because pothos can climb hard and escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a free-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.
