How to fertilize Skeleton Key Pothos
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Skeleton Key Pothos after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Identification I got this Pothos yesterday, but it's named epipremnum pinnatum, not epipremnum aureum, or Golden Pothos, so I'm struggling to figure out it's true identity. Greg does not have much that matches! Can you guys help?! I'm leaning more towards epipremnum pinnatum variegated neon, but that's not an option here. 😭 I have always loved #Pothos and really want to believe I found something special!! 🥰

Pothos help I just rescued this beauty from Lowe’s clearance. It did not have a pot. I paid $6.75!! It is tied to a climbing pole. My question is can I remove it from the pole and let it trail? #PothosPack #pothosaddict #Pothos #pothospower #PothosPlantCollector #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

My office pathos frequently turns light yellow or white on the leaves. I’m new to plants - what can cause this? Water is typically once a week and it sits by window with blinds. #NeonPothos

Ohhh no he’s dying! *Gasp* I don’t know what to do he turned yellow two or three days ago, and I tried giving him water but he isn’t getting better 😔 Most of my plants get better in like a day or two after watering them more, so I’m panicking a bit! He was grown from another plant. His parent died and we nearly got rid of the pot and soil, but the next day, there was a baby there! This is that miracle baby. I’d hate to have to let him go! 😖
