About Hawaiian Pothos
Feng shui experts say placing pothos in sharp corners or angles in your home can reduce anxiety and stress. š A NASA/ALCA study on the use of common plants for indoor air purification also labeled themāalong with Philodendron and spider plantsāas the most effective in removing formaldehyde from the air. šØ The genus name Epipremnum comes from the Greek roots meaning 'upon' and 'stump', since these plants are expert tree climbers! All parts of them are toxic, so be sure to keep them away from furry friends and small children.

How to fertilize Hawaiian 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 itās likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hawaiian Pothos after it doubles in size or once a yearāwhichever comes first.

Any idea why these yellow leaves are appearing on my Hawaiian pothos? Iāve been very careful not to overwater, only watering when pretty dry (just watered when it arrived and again about 10-12 days or so) . Received this in plant mail about 2 weeks ago. Has bright indirect light. It has a new yellow leaf every day for about 5 days now - Iāve trimmed some off as theyāve shown up. #PothosPack #HawaiianPothos
