Introduction

The n joy pothos is a variegated pothos, with white borders to the leaves and big green patches. It’s a real beauty. It looks really stunning, almost like it is painted. It has a compact growth pattern. As they are very variegated you want to give them as much indirect sunlight as you can. We run down all you need to know.

Tip: we recommend Etsy for buying plants. Look for the best rated seller you can, and try to buy as close to your home as possible so the plant does not travel too far.

Light Needs

Medium to bright indirect sunlight is a good range.

Tip: they don’t want to get burned by direct sun, but they need good light to encourage variegation so give them good indirect sunlight but no direct.

How Often to Water An N Joy Pothos

Check the soil of your n’joy with your finger once a week and water if the top 50% or more is dry.

Fertilizer

Use a well diluted balanced plant feed every month in the spring and summer months.

N Joy Pothos Soil

A standard potting mix will do fine, but you can add 20% perlite to the mix to reduce the chance of rot.

When To Repot

Repot them when the roots get crowded. Be sure the check them in spring, they will need a good amount of space to grow over the spring and summer as they grow quickly.

Humidity

50% and above humidity is best, they are tropical houseplants after all.

N Joy Pothos Temperature

They will do well in most homes as long as they don’t get cold in winter (keep them above 10°C / 50°F), aim for 18°C to 23°C (64-73°F) during the day.

How To Propagate N Joy Pothos

They are easy to propagate. Take a cutting with at least one node that will go under water, and one or two leaves above water. Put it in a jar of filtered tap water to root. They root fairly quickly in a month or so, then you put them in their own pot of soil.
