Care Essentials
Get to Know Your Pothos Njoy
The #1 killer? Overwatering. Let the soil dry between waterings and your Pothos Njoy 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 7-10 days
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Adjust with the seasons — less in winter, more in summer.
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 are my Pothos Njoy leaves turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves on pothos have many possible causes including a potting mix that has gone completely dry for too long, a potting mix that has stayed wet for too long, cold temperatures, nutrient deficiencies, too little light, and too much light

Why are my Pothos Njoy leaves turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves on pothos have many possible causes including a potting mix that has gone completely dry for too long, a potting mix that has stayed wet for too long, cold temperatures, nutrient deficiencies, too little light, and too much light
Cause
Yellowing leaves on pothos have many possible causes including a potting mix that has gone completely dry for too long, a potting mix that has stayed wet for too long, cold temperatures, nutrient deficiencies, too little light, and too much light. The pothos-specific failure mode repeatedly observed in houseplant practice is sitting in water inside a non-draining decorative pot even when the grower thinks they have underwatered the plant, so the lower leaves yellow from sustained saturation rather than from drought stress.
Solutions
- Stick a finger into the potting mix before assuming the cause; if it feels wet despite not having watered for weeks, the plant has been sitting in water, usually because a plastic nursery pot with drainage is slipped into a decorative pot with no drainage.
- Lift the plastic pot out of the decorative pot, dump out any pooled water, then resume watering by watering the plant in a sink or shower, letting excess finish draining, and only then placing it back inside the decorative pot so all excess drains away.
- Going forward, water thoroughly but always drain the excess, and only water again once the top of the mix has dried out rather than on a fixed weekly schedule, since frequency rather than volume drives yellow leaves.
Prevention
Always keep pothos njoy in a pot with drainage holes, never let it stand in a saucer or decorative pot of water, water about once a week in summer and once every two weeks in winter, and remember that older leaves will naturally turn yellow and drop, which is part of the plant's life cycle rather than a care failure.

Why does my Pothos Njoy have root rot?
Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), the parent species of pothos njoy, is threatened by the soil-borne fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia and attack the root system of commercially grown pothos plants

Why does my Pothos Njoy have root rot?
Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), the parent species of pothos njoy, is threatened by the soil-borne fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia and attack the root system of commercially grown pothos plants
Cause
Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), the parent species of pothos njoy, is threatened by the soil-borne fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia and attack the root system of commercially grown pothos plants. These pathogens drastically reduce root length, root fresh weight, and root dry weight of pothos, and waterlogged soil from poor drainage or oversized pots compounds the damage by suffocating roots and starving them of oxygen.
Solutions
- Use a well-draining soil mix (around 50 percent regular potting compost mixed with 50 percent perlite) and ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes so excess water can escape and roots receive oxygen.
- Empty any decorative-pot or saucer water 15 to 30 minutes after watering so the root ball is never left sitting in standing water, and never let the plant sit in a plastic nursery pot slipped into a non-draining decorative pot.
- Where commercial-style fungal pressure is suspected, treat with thyme or clove essential oil nanoemulsions, which pot bioassays showed significantly reduced Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii root rot incidence on pothos and mitigated the negative effects on root attributes.
Prevention
Keep pothos in bright indirect light, water once a week during summer and once every two weeks in winter, and let the soil dry between waterings; use a well-draining aroid-style mix with perlite and a pot with drainage holes so the root zone never stays saturated.
