About Pothos N' Joy
Created in 2002, the N'Joy pothos hsa quickly risen in popularity due to its unique variegation. 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 toxic are Pothos to cats? 🐈 #PothosNJoy I've had my pathos and joy for about 4 months. I have a cat who never bothered any of my plants. Hes not interested in them at all. Regardless, I keep the Pothos and snake plant high where he can't get to it. This summer, I adopted a second cat, and guess what? She loves eating my plants 🪴. Luckily she hasn't gotten to any of the 3 toxic ones but my pathos and joy is in reach so Ive had to move him to a spot that's not desirable light wise as I have the other 2 toxic plants in the only high good spots that give lights. Before I gift my pathos 😢 to someone, I just wanted to ask how toxic they are. #greggers #toxicbuttrue

Are these burn marks? Hi! Greg identified this as Pothos N’Joy , had it near my window with another bigger Pothos but are these burns? It has lost some leaves, I can move it away from the window (north facing patio as seen in photo) but worried it may not get enough light!

Does this plant attracts bugs ? Is it safe for indoors? #PothosNJoy

Need advice🫤 So I have this #PothosNJoy for about 2 months now. He’s been great, zero issues (I even #repotted him the same day I brought him from the nursery). I recently came back home from a 20 day vacations (I had a friend come ando water him and his brothers) but when I came back I realized this crispy leaf browning (as you can see). He’s in a well drained pot, has bright indirect light, hasn’t had any spot changes or anything. What can it be? Should I be concerned? Also… I kinda was expecting more growth while I was away… I’m open to suggestions to make Harry Pothos happy (and alive)😁

I made my first terrariums today. One has rooted golden pothos, n joy pothos and snow queen cuttings. The other has rooted silver satin pothos cuttings. Got the enclosures from work, they used to hold jumping spiders!

This was my first real plant purchase I made when starting my green thumb journey! Very easy to take care of, and incredibly fun to watch grow 🌱
Definitely bottom water, because sometimes the leaves can be sensitive to excess water droplets sitting around.

A Pothos plant is your aquarium’s best friend! After thoroughly rinsing the roots of as much soil as possible, set them up so that the roots are in the water but the plant itself is out of the water. Best way to pull nitrates out of your fish tank and grow your Pothos at the same time! Roots quickly convert to underwater growth and plenty of new leaves within a matter of a couple weeks. Fish tank waste equals nutrients for plant, plus fish tank light meant for growing aquatic plants equals BIG GROWTH!!
