Care Essentials
Get to Know Your Pothos Pearls And Jade
The #1 killer? Overwatering. Let the soil dry between waterings and your Pothos Pearls And Jade 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 Pothos Pearls And Jade have root rot?
Root rot in pothos (Epipremnum aureum, the species behind the pearls and jade cultivar) is driven by soil-borne fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia and drastically reduce root length, root fresh weight, and root dry weight of infected cuttings under pot trials

Why does my Pothos Pearls And Jade have root rot?
Root rot in pothos (Epipremnum aureum, the species behind the pearls and jade cultivar) is driven by soil-borne fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia and drastically reduce root length, root fresh weight, and root dry weight of infected cuttings under pot trials
Cause
Root rot in pothos (Epipremnum aureum, the species behind the pearls and jade cultivar) is driven by soil-borne fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii, which persist as vegetative mycelium and sclerotia and drastically reduce root length, root fresh weight, and root dry weight of infected cuttings under pot trials.
Solutions
- Dip the bases of cuttings for 30 minutes in a 3000 ppm thyme-oil nanoemulsion (or a 2 g/L carbendazim fungicide dip) before planting into infested soil; in the pot trial this treatment was evaluated at 60 days after planting for percentage of root rot infection.
- Water and feed the plant so the soil dries between waterings and use a well-drained mix (e.g., 50% potting compost with 50% perlite) and a pot with drainage holes to keep the rhizosphere from staying waterlogged, which is the predisposing condition the fungi exploit.
Prevention
Use sterilized or fresh potting medium, avoid overwatering, keep the plant in bright indirect light with good airflow, and quarantine or replace any cutting that shows basal stem lesions before replanting.
