Overview Pothos is arguably the easiest houseplant to grow. It’s a long-growing, leafy vine that can reach 40 feet or more in tropical jungles. It usually confines itself to about 6-10 feet in containers, but don't be surprised if yours just keeps growing. A reader, Jenny, wrote in to tell me hers is well over 100 feet long. Her living room must have ideal growing conditions!
Pothos is tolerant of low light conditions and erratic watering.
Although pothos can flower, it is rare to see one in flower. Pothos are high on the list of plants that can help purify indoor air.
