Indoor Plant Care - How to Houseplant Care

House Plants at Gate C7 - Airport Adventures Sure a lot of people that really like to  ‪#‎ grow‬   ‪#‎ houseplants‬ !  I was at the local international airport on Friday, taking care of plants and replacing some #Pothos with Hoyas. The new plants were so full that I had to drastically prune them to fit in their new containers.  I left all of the cuttings on my cart on the concourse and when I came back there was a woman stuffing all of the  ‪#‎ Hoya‬  cuttings into one of her pieces of luggage. I just had to laugh.  Nice to know that so many people  ‪#‎ love‬  #houseplants.  Hope she made it to her flight on time!

Question from Kate... Pothos Marble Queen  I'm wondering if there is any way to revive a pothos plant? I received it in beautiful, healthy condition - about 6 vines? ranging from 1-3ft long. I promptly left it in my un-garaged car for 3 days in 30-50 degree temps. I remembered it, brought it inside, watered it but many of the leaves & vine stems are now dark green & limp - not completely wilted, but getting there. I feel awful and am hoping it can be resurrected. Any advice will be very much appreciated, as is this forum -thank you! Answer...   Hi Kate, The best advice I can offer would be to cut back the vines and hope there was no root damage. If the roots are okay the plant should regrow. The damaged foliage will not recover and needs to be removed, in any case. I know many people balk at cutting their plants back. In my experience, the plants that I keep pruned on a regular basis are also the best looking plants. Pruning promotes new growth and ne...

My Pothos Plant Pothos House Plant (A Plant by Any Other Name) Hi Plant People!  While there really are NOT very many different types of Pothos plants, there does seem to be quite a few different names given to this particularly popular houseplant. Let's see...I call it a ' Pothos' , its botanical name is Epipremnum aureum, some call it a Scindapsus aureus and I know that in some areas of the world, Pothos are called the ' Devil's Ivy' . I am curious to know why you would call this innocent looking plant ' Devil's Ivy' . Anyone know? My understanding is that this name is most often used in #Britain. Are there any #British folks out there that know how or why the name "Devil's Ivy" originated? Post in comments below, if you do, I really do wonder... Pearls and Jade Okay, I know this is a really popular plant because I work in the interior landscape business and this plant, the Pothos plant, is the one I see most of...

Question from Michele: P lease help, I just received a 25 year old Pothos with very long vines. I left it outside the first night I got it and it was very windy. Every leaf on the vines are gone. Will they grow back? Answer:  Thanks for your question, sorry to hear about your Pothos losing all of its leaves. However, as long as there was no tissue damage to roots or stems from excessively cold temperatures or the wind, your plant should regrow, if cared for properly. It may be a good idea to cut back some of the longer stem to help your plant fill out faster but it should regrow even if you don't prune it back.  Read more about Pothos plant care...

My Pothos Marble Queen Pothos plant is a household favorite and is on my list of the ten best houseplants , for their easy care and durability.  Also called Scindapsus Aureus or Epipremnum Aureum, they are known in some places as " Devil's Ivy ". The Golden Pothos is the most common varieties. It has a glossy green leaf "painted" with yellow. It should stay that way in bright light  but if kept in lower light it may start to lose some of the yellow in the leaf and show more of the green. Lower light will also mean less frequent watering  of indoor plants. Other common Pothos are the Marble Queen Pothos , which is marbled with white and green with picture at bottom of page and the all green Jade Pothos .  Read more...
