Place your Jade Pothos in bright, indirect light. While it can adapt to lower light conditions, brighter light will encourage faster growth.

Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Use a sheer curtain to diffuse harsh rays if necessary.

Use the self-watering reservoir system. Refill only when the reservoir is empty and the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

Use room-temperature tap water or distilled water if your tap water is very hard or softened.

Keep the plant away from heat or cooling sources such as vents, radiators, or drafts.

Rotate the pot weekly to ensure even growth.

Use clean, sharp scissors to trim damaged, yellow, or brown leaves. This helps the plant redirect energy to healthy growth.

Allow the plant to adjust to its new environment. Avoid moving it frequently during the first couple of weeks.

Some yellowing or minor leaf loss is normal during this period.

Unpack the plant and fill the self-watering reservoir immediately.

Place the plant in the appropriate light for its species and keep it away from drafts.

Yellowing can result from overwatering or insufficient light. Ensure the reservoir is used correctly and the plant receives adequate indirect light.

Excessive light intensity can scorch leaves. Trim damaged sections and move the plant to a location with filtered sunlight.

Trim affected sections to redirect energy to healthy growth. Ensure the plant is not overwatered and receives adequate light.

If pests are present, improve airflow and avoid consistently wet soil. Use yellow sticky traps or neem oil as needed.

Do not separate overlapped stems, as this can stress the plant. Rotate the pot to encourage balanced growth.
