Repotting Golden Pothos. Pothos is a fast grower, and you’ll likely need to repot it every 12 to 18 months for healthy root development. Here are the basics for repotting pothos (epipremnum aureum):
Repot your golden pothos in the spring or summer. Let your golden pothos rest dry for a few days after repotting, then resume a regular watering schedule. You can also use a top dressing of organic fertilizer of your choice in the spring.
Make Sure To Leave About 2 Inches Of Space On Top.
Golden pothos love to be frequently fed, but only in small amounts. You don’t want your plant to be stressed during the process. If your 6″ pothos is large & extremely pot bound, then you can jump to a 10″ pot.
It’s Best To Repot Golden Pothos During The Summer And Spring Months When Growth Is Steady, But These Hardy Plants Can Be Repotted At Any Time Of The Year.
If you’re growing golden pothos as a houseplant, keep it on the moist side by not allowing the soil to become completely dry between each watering. It is also important to pay attention to the type of the soil you use. You can use the same container as long as the plant is not outgrowing its pot, but a good rule of thumb is to size up every two to three years.
You Can Even Grow Multiple Stems In A Single Pot, As It Will Result In A Bushier Plant.
It will take about 2 to 3 weeks for the roots to develop, after which you can place them in a new pot. Keep your pothos away from the window. Put the plant on its side & gently press on the grow pot to loosen the root ball away.
