Care Instructions
To care for Epipremnum pinnatum, place it in a location with bright, indirect light. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and can adapt to various indoor environments.Soil
Epipremnum pinnatum thrives in well-draining, loamy soil. A mix of potting soil with perlite or orchid bark can provide the necessary drainage. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Fertilize Epipremnum pinnatum with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Repotting
Repot Epipremnum pinnatum every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Propagate Epipremnum pinnatum through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or directly into moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, then transplant it to a pot with well-draining soil.Pruning
Prune Epipremnum pinnatum to control its size and shape. Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems using clean, sharp scissors. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.Toxicity
Epipremnum pinnatum is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
