4" Jessenia Pothos

 

Jessenia Pothos features heart-shaped leaves with a captivating mix of bright chartreuse and rich green colors. The foliage is variegated, displaying a marbled pattern that adds a touch of vibrancy to any indoor space. This Pothos variety is a cascading plant, making it ideal for hanging baskets or displaying on elevated surfaces.

Care Tips:

1. Light: Jessenia Pothos thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves and fade the variegation. Place the plant near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit spot indoors.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings. Pothos plants are forgiving and can tolerate slight underwatering, but overwatering can lead to root rot. Water the plant thoroughly when the soil is dry, and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.

3. Humidity: Jessenia Pothos can adapt to a range of humidity levels, but it appreciates slightly higher humidity. Regular misting or placing a tray of water near the plant can help increase humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.

4. Temperature: The plant thrives in typical room temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

5. Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the recommended dosage and avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to nutrient buildup.

6. Support: Jessenia Pothos is a trailing plant that can be trained to climb a support or allowed to cascade down. You can use a trellis, moss pole, or let it trail from a hanging basket.

7. Pruning: Trim any yellow or leggy growth to encourage new and bushier growth. Regular pruning will help maintain the plant's shape and promote its health.

8. Repotting: Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and use a well-draining potting mix suitable for aroid plants.

9. Pests and Diseases: Monitor the plant for common pests such as spider mites and mealybugs. If you notice any infestations, take appropriate measures to address them promptly.

With these care tips, you can enjoy the vibrant beauty of Jessenia Pothos and relish its low-maintenance nature as it enhances the aesthetics of your indoor living spaces.
