Best Fertilizer for Pothos Plants

Feed Pothos with balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) at half strength every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer. Pothos are forgiving plants that tolerate irregular feeding. For fastest growth, use a nitrogen-rich formula. For more variegation, use less nitrogen. Slow-release Osmocote granules sprinkled on the soil surface every 3-4 months is a low-effort alternative.
