Basic Care Instructions for Snow Queen Pothos

Soil

The Snow Queen Pothos care is pretty enough. They are able to grow well in any high quality and fast draining soil. Extremely wet conditions are able to cause root rot, so you have to ensure that the soil drains well. For our Snow Queen Pothos care, we ensure to use a soil with a pH of 6.1 to 6.5 with two sections soil and one-part perlite. Later, we have had amazing results with this mixture. We use it for most of our indoor plants.

Watering

We think that the best Snow Queen Pothos care is to keep them on the dry side. Need to know that these plants prefer the soil to be almost dry in between watering. Based on our experience, we wait until it is dry to the second knuckle once we insert our finger in the soil before we water them. In the winter, we let them dry out further between watering. The leaves are going to get soft and droop slightly once it is time to water. Thus, we always plant all our plants in a pot with drain holes to avoid overwatering.

Light

These Snow Queen Pothos do well with indirect sunlight or partial shade. However, we put our Snow Queen Pothos in a partial light area with no direct sunlight. Our plants gets about 4 hours of indirect sunlight, natural sunlight a day and it flourish. They are able to do well with slightly less or slightly more indirect sunlight as well. If Snow Queen Pothos are left in an area which is very low light, this will cause leaf variegation and color to fade.

Temperature

Like other Pothos family, the Snow Queen Pothos prefer daily indoor temperatures of 85 degrees with a low of 65 degrees at night. They are able to tolerate the higher temperatures as long as they have protection from the harsh rays of the sun.

Humidity

In caring the Snow Queen Pothos, we suggest you to mist the plant’s leaves once every week to ten days. Remember that you do not mist it so much so that the leaves are dripping wet. This will be able to cause fungal issues for the plant and leaves. In the room of our Pothos lives we have a humidifier. But, usually they are fine with normal household humidity. For those who live in a very dry climate, we suggest you to have a humidifier on year-round. For note: An optimal humidity level for any breed of Pothos plant is 50 percent to a maximum of 75 percent humidity.
