If it is below 10 degrees, pothos is afraid of cold, its leaves will curl, and its roots will slowly rot. In the spring when everything recovers, pothos will sprout many new shoots at a suitable temperature.
Watering
Spring and summer are the seasons of relatively vigorous growth for pothos. It is recommended to water at a fixed time, once a week to keep the soil moist, and it can be extended appropriately in winter. The watering cycle can be watered once every ten days and a half, depending on the room temperature. Do not water too much, which will cause water accumulation and the rhizome of pothos will rot easily. When the air is dry, you can spray water on the leaves.

As we all know, it is easy to repot plants. In terms of soil selection, you can choose soil that is not easy to clump, that is, loose soil.
