Pothos or money plant, is a common house plant. It is believed that this plant brings good luck, prosperity, and positive energy to the house. These plants are used as feng shuis as well. Let me now share how to take care of pothos plant indoor:

Water your pothos every 1-2 weeks and allow the soil to dry out before watering again. If the leaves turn yellow or the stems turn black, it denotes overwatering, and if the plant wilts and their potting mux dries out, it denotes underwatering.

Pathos cannot stand direct sunlight so keep it in a partial shade or in a bright but indirect sunlight reaching area.
