Signs of Overwatering
Yellowing, translucent leaves and soil that stays soggy for many days after watering point to roots that are starting to suffocate.
Signs of Underwatering
The velvety, silver-flecked heart-shaped leaves lose their sheen and curl slightly, feeling thin rather than plump.
Adjusting for the Seasons
A genuinely different genus from golden pothos despite the common name - it tends to want slightly less water and slightly more humidity than true Epipremnum pothos.
Pro Tip
The silvery-green splash pattern is most vivid in medium light - too much direct sun can wash out the silver flecking, while too little light produces smaller, plainer leaves.
