Global Green Pothos is a beautiful cultivar of Epipremnum aureum with deep green leaves marbled with lighter green patches. It is hardy, fast-growing, and excellent for homes, offices, hanging baskets, or climbing poles.

☀️ Light

• Best in bright indirect light for strong variegation.
• Tolerates medium light.
• Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun (can scorch leaves).
• Low light = slower growth and duller patterns.

💧 Watering

• Water when top 2–3 cm soil feels dry.
• Keep lightly moist, not soggy.
• In Kerala heat: usually every 5–7 days, adjust by pot size.
• Reduce watering during monsoon/cloudy weather.

🌱 Soil Mix

Use airy, well-draining mix:

• 40% cocopeat or peat moss
• 30% compost
• 20% perlite
• 10% bark/coco chips

Good drainage holes are essential.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal: 18–32°C
• Loves humidity, perfect for Kerala climate.
• Good airflow helps prevent fungal issues.

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed monthly with balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength during active growth.
• Reduce in low-light or rainy season.

✂️ Pruning & Training

• Trim vines to make plant bushier.
• Propagate cuttings easily in water or soil.
• Train on moss pole for larger leaves.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years when rootbound.
• Move one pot size up only.

🐛 Common Problems

• Yellow leaves: overwatering
• Brown tips: underwatering or salt buildup
• Leggy vines: needs more light
• Pests: mealybugs/spider mites—use neem spray

Keep in a bright shaded balcony, verandah, or indoors near east/window light. Avoid heavy monsoon rain directly on pot.
