Silver Pothos

bright indirect light (3-6 feet from a south or west window, or right next to an east window. Under a grow light, 6-10 inches away works well) gives you the fullest silver variegation and fastest growth; too little light fades the silver markings and produces smaller leaves. Can tolerate moderate low light (more than 8 feet from a window, or a north-facing room. A grow light 10-12 inches away works great if your windows are not cutting it) but will not thrive. An east- or west-facing window is a sweet spot

Prefers 40% or higher humidity for best growth, though it tolerates average household humidity without visible stress. A pebble tray or humidifier helps; misting (note: misting does not actually raise humidity meaningfully. A pebble tray or humidifier is more effective) is discouraged as the textured leaf surface traps moisture and can harbor fungal or bacterial issues

Airy, well-draining mix - standard potting soil cut with 20-30% perlite works well. Roots need air circulation; dense compacted soil leads to rot

Root rot from overwatering is the main risk; brown leaf tips signal low humidity or inconsistent watering; silver variegation fading means the plant needs more light; yellow leaves usually indicate overwatering
