Money Plant Golden With Self Watering Pot

Light:

• Golden Pothos prefers bright, indirect light, but it can tolerate lower light conditions. It will exhibit the best variegation and growth in bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering:

• Water your golden Pothos when the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. It’s better to underwater than overwater, as overwatering can lead to root rot.

Temperature:

• Maintain a room temperature between 60-80°F (15-27°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from cold drafts and freezing temperatures.

Soil:

• Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for houseplants. A mix that includes peat moss, perlite, and a bit of compost is a good choice.

Pot and Drainage:

• Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Proper drainage is important to prevent overwatering.

Fertilization:

• Feed your golden Pothos with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early autumn). Follow the label instructions for dilution.

Pruning:

• Prune your Pothos as needed to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim away leggy or yellowing stems.

Propagation:

• You can propagate your golden Pothos through stem cuttings. Take a healthy stem cutting and root it in water or potting soil.

Pests and Diseases:

• Monitor your plant for common houseplant pests like mealybugs, spider mites, and aphids. If you notice any infestations, treat them promptly.

Components of a Self-Watering Pot:

1. Reservoir: This is the bottom part of the pot, where water is stored. It typically has a separate compartment with a water level indicator, which helps you monitor the water level easily. The reservoir is usually separated from the plant container by a barrier that prevents the roots from sitting in standing water.
2. Plant Container: This is the upper part of the pot where you plant your greenery. It has a growing medium (usually potting soil) and a plant.
