Bring A Dying Pothos Plant Back To Life

 


Photo source:  Hunker.com

"If that easy-to-care-for pothos plant (Epipremnum aureum) that used to spill over your bookcase with lush green vines has been looking a little bedraggled lately, you may be wondering if this reliable plant has come to the end of its life span, or if there is anything you can do to revive it. Despite being one of the best plants for beginners due to its unfussy needs and ability to thrive under the care of even novice gardeners, pothos can start to fade if you are getting some of its basic care wrong."  Comment  from Hunker.com

Love this plant!  It grows wild in my yard like a weed.  I have also grown it as a houseplant with great results.  Any plant will eventually die with improper care.  This article is excellent to find out the correct way to care for the pothos.
