About Pearls and Jade Pothos
This pothos variety has beautiful variegation that definitely catches the eye. Feng shui experts say placing pothos in sharp corners or angles in your home can reduce anxiety and stress. 😌
A NASA/ALCA study on the use of common plants for indoor air purification also labeled golden pothos—along with Philodendron and spider plants—as the most effective in removing formaldehyde from the air. 💨

How to fertilize Pearls and Jade 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 Pearls and Jade Pothos after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Rehabbed Pearls and Jade Pothos I got this pothos for free. I figure my best bet is to chop parts off to prop in perlite or water and let the bottom part grow in soil because it’s rooted, but I’m not sure where to cut! Advice? #rehabplants #PothosPack #Pothos #PropagationStation #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang #PearlsAndJadePothos

My very handsome pearls and jade grew a leaf with two tips! (at the top) I don’t have anything quippy or philosophical to say about flaws or intentions or anything…it’s just a funky leaf that makes me happy and I hope it makes you happy too! 💚

This is the story of how I repotted my Pearls n Jade Pothos, overwatered it, let it sit in water for who knows how long, and it died of complete and total root rot. So in order to avoid losing the remaining leaves, I have chopped the whole thing into various sections of nodes and I’m going to restart the entire plant as water propagations. I did save some node and route sections that looked viable, but had no leaves, and I will stick them in sphagnum moss. #overwatering #RootRot #DeadPlant #SadPlant #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #waterpropagation #HappyPlants #brunchataudreys #TheThread #theamigos #NEPAGregGang

I recently moved and my pothos has started to put on tons of yellow leaves. What happened? Is it the moving stress, water, or sun? Maybe disease? #PearlsAndJadePothos

What’s wrong with my plants? After 5 days, I noticed this plant didn't look healthy when a package arrived, came out of fly bugs, the soil was too wet, and a few leaves were already rotten. This plant sitting under a grow light and away from the window. Should I re-pot them with fresh potting soil or what should I do? #NewPlantMom #help #thisplantneedsattention #sickplants #AskGreg #PearlsAndJadePothos

My pothos is crispy and holey! I can’t figure it out, for the life of me I cannot spot any pests but look! The only thing I can think of is my 34% AZ humidity even with a humidifier?? Thoughts?? I’ve treated with neem and an insecticidal soap for the past month. Never once have spotted a pest though. Even my new leaf came out with issues (second photo).

Marble queen grew an N’Joy leaf!! #PothosPack #Pothos I have a Pearls & Jade and decided to take a cutting of these 2 leaves that got mostly marble queen genes… then it decides to prove me wrong and grow a fully N’joy leaf! What the heck! Well at least I get three pothos variants from a single plant! 🤣 #PothosNJoy #MarbleQueenPothos #PearlsAndJadePothos

A little more finicky than some other pothos but still pretty easy.

Easy care. Water, plenty of sun. We were able to propogate Pearl into a sister plant. So my kids are enjoying having one to care for upstairs.

Test soil between hydration sessions, let it dry a bit between watering. More light (Indirect) will intensify the variegation. Prefers better soil blends Sphagnum Moss
2 Portions of Pumice
4 Portions of Coco Coir
4 Portions of Perlite
6 Portions of Pebbles or 6 Portions of Orchid Bark this lets it irrigate better avoiding root rot.

Beautiful, but slow growing.

I like how this looks and grows but I do wish it grew faster like other pothos. Maybe I needs better conditions but it's still beautiful

My easiest and first plant, great survivability and beautiful leaves. Watered once every 9 days or so. Leaves will tell you when it needs watered (the droop and get squishy) which makes it great as long as you pay attention.

A very pretty kind of pothos! super exciting to see the different leaves grow, you never know what kind of variegation will be on the new growth. Very easy to grow and propagate! Great for beginner houseplant parents!

hardy plant. I originally bought it in a really tiny container and one day I noticed the leaves were super floppy and weak. They needed to be repotted in a bigger pot and I was afraid of root rot so I sprinkled the roots in cinnamon before I repotted. Within 24 hours it was like nothing had happened and new leaves are coming in!
