The secret to getting SPLIT leaves on your pothos 🌿

First of all, let’s get our terminology right!
Pinnations vs fenestrations

Pinnations are splits that start at the edge of the leaf and cut in toward the middle. Otherwise known as a split leaf (Pothos are popular for this). Fenestrations are holes inside the leaf (Monstera Deliciosa is a great example).

But which pothos can develop pinnation?

Epipremnum aureum is your classic pothos: Golden, Marble Queen, N’Joy, Neon, Manjula. They can split, but it takes LOTS of light and a few years before they reach maturity.
Epipremnum pinnatum includes Cebu Blue, Baltic Blue, etc. “Pinnatum” literally means feather-like, and these develop splits WAY faster.
Oh…. and satin pothos? Silver pothos? Not even a pothos at all lol. It’s Scindapsus.

But how do I actually get splits?!

You have to let it climb! Hanging vines stay juvenile , but climbing mimics the plant’s natural environment which will trigger mature leaves to develop.

Other than support to climb, you have to give your pothos bright ALL DAY light (think the consistency of outdoor shade). 2-4 hours of some direct sun indoors is great! More light means bigger leaves. Pothos appreciate being kept somewhere consistently warm as well.
Also, keep the stake your plant is on moist as the aerial roots need something damp to grab onto.
Then be patient! Each new leaf comes in a little bigger than the last.

DIY coco coir stake
You need:
PVC pipe or a wooden stick
a coco coir hanging basket liner or mat
zip ties or jute rope
Cut the liner to size, wrap it tight around the pipe, and tie it every few inches. Put it in the pot BEFORE you attach the plant so you don’t crush the roots.

Stake care:
Keep it damp. Mist it or pour a little water down it a few times a week. If the coir is dry, the roots won’t grab.
Just don’t let the soil at the bottom stay soggy.
Attach the nodes facing the stake with plant velcro or clips. Do not tie the leaves down!
When the plant hits the top, add another section.
Replace the coco coir if it gets moldy or crusty with mineral buildup.

Stay til the end for a bonus prayer plant tip! 🪴

MARANTA / PRAYER PLANT CARE GUIDE

☀️ LIGHT
Place them in bright ALL DAY, indirect light near an east window or set back a few feet from a south or west window. Extended Direct afternoon sun will burn the leaves. However, small amounts of direct sun (1-2 hrs) are great. Outdoor in shade in warm climates is also a viable option. If light is too low, growth will halt completely.
💧 WATER
Use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water only. Let dry between waterings but don’t allow to remain dry for more than a day at a time.
🪴 SOIL AND POTTING
Because prayer plants need moisture without suffocating their shallow roots, use a light, airy substrate. Mix 2 parts peat coco coir, 1 part perlite, and 1 part orchid bark. Plant them in shallow pots with ample drainage to prevent root rot. Repot yearly not to size up the pot, but to dull the old soil and replace with new soil for a fresh nutrient boost!
🌡️ HUMIDITY AND TEMP
Marantas demand high humidity (60% or higher) to keep leaf edges from getting crispy. Group them with other plants, keep humidifier nearby, or place in a bathroom or kitchen. Keep temperatures warm, between 70°F and 80°F, and keep them far away from drafts and vents.
🥄FEEDING
Feed every two to four weeks during spring and summer using a 3-1-2 liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Skip fertilizing entirely during fall and wintter!

THE ULTIMATE SPIDER PLANT CARE GUIDE 🪴

☀️ LIGHT
Place them in bright light near an (unshaded) east, south or west window. Keep them out of direct sun outdoors to avoid scorched leaves.
💧 WATER AND TAP WATER WARNING

Water only when completely dry. Spider plants are extremely sensitive to fluoride, chlorine, and salts in tap water, which cause brown leaf tips. Use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis to keep the foliage happy.

👶 BABIES AND BLOOMS
To trigger spiderettes, keep the plant slightly root-bound in bright light. Once the offset plantlets form tiny roots at their bases, snip them off and put them directly into damp soil or water to root.

🪴 SOIL AND POTTING
Plant in a light, fast-draining mix of 2 parts standard potting soil and 1 part perlite. Spider plants have thick, fleshy tubered roots that store water, so use a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

🌡️ TEMP AND HUMIDITY
They thrive in standard home temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. Average indoor humidity works fine, but higher humidity prevents the leaf tips from drying out.

🧪 FEEDING
Feed LIGHTLY once a month during spring and summer with an organic balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excess salts will burn the root tips and cause brown leaf margins.

When people ask how I built my plant knowledge, the honest answer (beyond school and running my own plant store), is pure curiosity. I have spent endless hours spent reading, researching, and experimenting on my own time completely transformed how I understand plants and how I care for them!

There is a massive amount of information out there, and knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Soooo I am kicking off a series sharing my absolute favorite resources and books. starting today with The Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger.

THE ULTIMATE NEPENTHES CARE GUIDE 🪴

☀️ LIGHT AND GROW LIGHTS
Nepenthes need lots of energy to build traps, and they get that energy from the light they receive! Bright indirect light means putting them right in an east window (that gets direct morning sun) or a few feet back from an unshaded south or west window where direct afternoon sun rays won’t scorch the leaves. If leaves are flat and dark green and won’t make pitchers, light is too low. A faint reddish or bronze blush on the foliage generally means lighting is spot on! For grow lights, use full spectrum LEDs running 12 to 14 hours daily. Aim for 100 to 200 PAR (or 1,000 to 1,500 foot candles) at the top leaves, positioning the light 8 to 12 inches above the plant.

💧 WATER
Keep the substrate constantly lightly damp. Never let ithis plant dry out completely and never leave it sitting in deep stagnant water. Also, Nepenthes roots are extremely sensitive to certain types of water. Regular tap water contains minerals, chlorine, and heavy salts that burn the root system. ONLY use distilled water, reverse osmosis water, or clean rainwater.

🪴 SOIL AND POTTING
Standard potting soil, peat mixtures with added fertilizer, or rich compost will kill a Nepenthes instantly!!! They evolved in nutrient poor environments, so their roots need maximum air flow and zero minerals. Plant them in an airy, fluffy substrate of equal parts long-fiber sphagnum moss and coarse perlite. Always use plastic or glazed ceramic pots with large drainage holes so minerals never leach into the roots.

THE ULTIMATE DRACAENA CARE GUIDE 🪴

Dracaenas are easy-going plants, but they are notoriously picky about water. Here is everything you need to know to keep yours happy and healthy!

☀️LIGHT
Provide all day bright sunlight near a south or west window or directly in an east facing window.Outside bright shade, however is the sweet spot.

💦WATER
Water thoroughly when dry (but do not allow plant to remain dry for more than a few days at a time), and ALWAYS drain excess water. Dracaenas are hypersensitive to fluoride and chlorine in tap water, which cause brown leaf tips. Always use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water to keep foliage green!

🌱SOIL & POTTING
Plant in a super chunky fast-draining mix using equal parts standard potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. Always use a pot with drainage holes, and only size up 1-2” at a time when the plant becomes root-bound!

🌡️HUMIDITY & TEMP
Keep temperatures between 65°F–85°F and protect the plant from any drafty areas or vents. Average room humidity is fine, but higher humidity keeps those leaf tips happy!

🍴FEEDING
Feed once a month during spring and summer using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Do not fertilize in fall or winter.
