KNOWN AS:  N'Joy Pothos, N'Joy Devil's Ivy

CLIMATE (LOCATION): Southeast Asia | Tropical & Subtropical

N'Joy Pothos Plant Care

Lighting

Light Requirement: High Light (Bright Indirect Light)

The N'Joy Pothos needs bright, indirect light to maintain its crisp, striking white and green variegation. If the light is too low, the white patches will fade to green, and the plant will lose its distinctive pattern. Avoid direct sunlight, as the white areas of the leaves are sensitive and can scorch easily.

Watering

Quick Tip: Allow soil to completely dry out before watering.

The N'Joy Pothos is prone to root rot if overwatered, so the key is to let the soil dry out completely between thorough waterings. The plant will signal thirst by drooping slightly. Water deeply until the water runs from the pot’s drainage hole, then discard any excess. Reduce watering frequency in the fall and winter dormant season.

Temperature

Preferred Temperature: 65º - 85º

The N'Joy Pothos prefers warm, stable temperatures, with the ideal range being between 65-85°F. As a tropical plant, it is sensitive to cold and should be kept away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Humidity

Preferred Humidity: 40 - 60%; Moderate Humidity

The N'Joy Pothos appreciates moderate humidity, which is typical of most homes. Misting the leaves occasionally or placing the plant near a humidifier will help keep the leaf edges healthy and prevent crisping.

Additional Plant Care

Propagation
The N'Joy Pothos is easily propagated by stem cuttings. Use clean shears to cut a piece of vine that has a few leaves and at least one node, as this is where the new roots will form. The cutting can be rooted in a glass of water or directly into a moist potting mix, and new roots will develop quickly.
Toxicity
The N'Joy Pothos is toxic to humans and animals. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause immediate irritation, swelling, and a burning sensation in the mouth and throat if ingested. It is important to keep the N'Joy Pothos out of reach of children and pets.
Repotting
The N'Joy Pothos is a fast-growing plant that may need to be repotted every 1-2 years once it has outgrown its container. The best time to repot is in the spring or summer when the plant is actively growing. Select a new pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. Use fresh, well-draining soil, and carefully place the plant in the new pot, filling in the sides with fresh soil.
Pruning
Pruning your N'Joy Pothos is essential to maintain its shape, control its size, and encourage a fuller, bushier plant. Use clean, sharp shears to trim away any yellowing or damaged leaves and to cut back long, leggy vines just above a leaf node. The trimmed cuttings can be easily used for propagation, allowing you to expand your collection.
Fertilizer
N'Joy Pothos plants benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the spring and summer growing season. It is important to remember to not fertilize during the fall and winter months when the plant is dormant.
Soil
The right soil is crucial for a healthy N'Joy Pothos. The plant prefers a well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A good mix is a standard potting soil amended with perlite to improve drainage. An important tip is to always use a pot with a drainage hole to ensure excess water can escape and prevent root rot.
