Finding light for Silver Satin Pothos in your home

How to fertilize Silver Satin 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 Silver Satin Pothos after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Pretty pretty 🪴 I can't really beleve this is just working😄 I have had this plant now for 2,5 years from a cutting. Repotted once, but always on this ring. It is just 1 long wein that is twirled around several times (like 5 or 6 times now I think). And it just always looks pretty this way😄 (Yes it does still get occasional yellow leaves, and I don't think the first 1 or 2 rounds have any leaves left, but it doesn't matter, it still looks full this way😄). I tried this with a golden pothos too, but they are way too fond of growing, so it got too fat to manage to twirl around without braking😅 This one stays the same size at least😂 #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #freshleaffriday #plantaddict #adhdplantlovers #satinpothos #scindapsus

Is Phil a #philadendron, #pothos, or #scindapsus? I'm confused on this. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #greggang

Why does she hate me? I have been trying to master Scindapsis for a long time and just can't seem to get it. My silver pothos started to do badly in soil, so I shifted her to water. She also has great lighting from an east-facing window. For a while, things were good. But now, the leaves are curling up despite living in water. I frequently change the water, so what else can I do? #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #silversatinpothos

Holy roots!! I had posted about finding an exotica at Lowe’s brought it home and look at these roots!!! If I wasn’t on my clear pot kick I might have left it for awhile being a new plant but I’m glad I did check it! New pot, new soil and a bath. ✅ #HappyPlants #RootPorn #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #exotica #scindapsuspictusexotica #ScindapsusPictus #BigBoxStoreFind

I wanted to partake in #FreshLeafFriday as this past couple of weeks I noticed #NewGrowth from my Satin Pothos! She's gotten so bushy, and I am amazed at how much she's put out this cold season! 🤩 #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #DMVGregGang

Black bug with shiny wings? Hey fam! I was just doing my spray down of my plants. I like to obviously inspect things and noticed a small black bug with shiny wings run across the soil. It didn’t fly even though it had wings. Definitely a bit bigger than a fungus gnat. Are their other types of gnats. Wish I had a photo, but instead sprayed him down with my peppermint/tea tree soap, rubbing alcohol, and peroxide mixture. Are there other types of gnats that live in plants? I just got some plants from CA and I’m wondering if he came from them. I don’t see anything anywhere else or on my yellow sticky traps. 🤔🤔🤔
