Pothos
These beginner-friendly heroes are iconic and popular houseplants for every plant collection. They are incredibly effective air-purifiers to filter toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Note: Check the soil before watering to avoid overwatering. Stick your finger or a wooden stick into the soil to the recommended depth. If it feels completely dry, it’s time to water. If it still feels damp or leaves moisture on your finger or stick, wait and check again later.

Pothos’ thrive in warm and humid environments. Avoid cold rooms or cold drafts. Prune yellowing or brown leaves to encourage growth.
