Care Essentials
Get to Know Your Global Green Pothos
The #1 killer? Overwatering. Let the soil dry between waterings and your Global Green Pothos will thrive.
Light
medium to bright indirect
Most comfortable in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure.
💡 Grow lights: Thrives under artificial grow lights (LED or fluorescent, 10-12 hours/day). A great option if your space lacks natural light.
Watering
every 10-14 days
Let the soil dry out significantly between waterings — this plant is very sensitive to overwatering. When in doubt, wait another day.
Humidity & Temperature
Not fussy about humidity. Handles average indoor conditions without issue.
Standard room temperature (60-80°F / 15-27°C) is perfect. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature swings.
Soil
Standard well-draining potting mix works well. Add perlite for extra drainage if you tend to overwater.

Why does my Global Green Pothos have root rot?
Root rot in global green pothos is caused by soil-borne fungi, principally Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which colonize the roots and basal stem of Epipremnum aureum and persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia; the disease is encouraged when potting medium stays wet and roots are starved of oxygen, and curling leaves are an early visible sign that the plant has been overwatered

Cause
Root rot in global green pothos is caused by soil-borne fungi, principally Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which colonize the roots and basal stem of Epipremnum aureum and persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia; the disease is encouraged when potting medium stays wet and roots are starved of oxygen, and curling leaves are an early visible sign that the plant has been overwatered.
Solutions
- Unpot the plant, shake off wet soil, and cut back every soft, brown, or hollow root and any rotted basal stem until only firm tissue remains; disinfect tools between cuts.
- Repot into a clean pot with drainage holes using a fresh, well-draining mix of roughly 50 percent regular potting compost with 50 percent perlite, and let the soil dry between waterings so the new roots are never waterlogged.
Prevention
Use a well-draining mix of 50 percent regular potting compost with 50 percent perlite in a pot with drainage holes; water only when the soil has dried, mist frequently for humidity rather than soaking the root zone, and quarantine new cuttings so that R. solani and S. rolfsii cannot be carried in on contaminated potting medium or rooted stems.
