Pothos Cebu Blue care requirements
water
Allow top 1-2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Water when soil is dry to the touch; this variety prefers slightly more consistent moisture than other Pothos but still resents waterlogging. Reduce watering in winter.
soil
Well-draining potting soil with good aeration; use a blend of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark or add extra perlite to standard houseplant soil to support healthy root development.
light
Bright indirect light is important to maintain the blue-silver iridescence; moderate indirect light is acceptable but results in greener, less vibrant foliage. Provide as much bright light as possible without direct sun exposure.
