Walk into almost any plant shop or scroll through plant inspiration online, and you're bound to see two leafy superstars everywhere: pothos and philodendron. They're both incredibly popular, super resilient, and fantastic for adding that lush, trailing greenery to any space. The thing is, pothos and philodendrons look so similar that even seasoned plant lovers sometimes mix them up! If you've ever wondered how to tell these two beautiful plants apart, or which one might be the best fit for your home, you're in the right place. Let's dive in and sort out the pothos versus philodendron mystery.
One of the most annoying parts about being a plant parent is figuring out how much light to give your plants. You can do all the research you want on what windows to put your plants in, how to provide them with indirect light, or how to effectively use grow lights for your plants; yet they could still get too little or too much light. The main reason this can happen is human error; forgetting to turn the lights on and off, not getting a ‘plant-sitter’ when you stay away from home for a longer period of time or just setting up your grow light incorrectly. This is where smart timers come into play.
