It doesn\u2019t require frequent watering. Just give it a drink when the soil has dried up completely and it will be good to go, at least for a week. And it also grows relatively faster than other plants, whether placed inside or outside. Now just because pothos is a hardy plant and can tolerate a lot of conditions, doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t care about it. No matter how strong the plant is, you need to keep a couple of things in mind while growing it, such as the amount of fertilizer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/what-type-of-soil-is-best-for-pothos-plant\/\">type of soil<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/how-often-to-water-pothos-plant\/\">watering<\/a> and lighting requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about light, pothos can thrive in varied lighting conditions, including low and bright light. But the question is, what kind of light is best for the pothos plant? Does it like direct sunlight? Before answering your question, we would like to talk first about what exactly is direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No, pothos does not like direct sunlight. Instead, they do best in bright, but indirect sunlight. Only a couple of houseplants can tolerate direct sunlight, such as succulents and cacti. Other than these, all the plants need bright, indirect light to survive. Therefore, pothos can thrive well, rather best without direct sunlight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662c39d57cef9\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662c39d57cef9\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/do-pothos-plants-like-direct-sunlight\/#What_Is_Direct_Sunlight\" title=\"What Is Direct Sunlight?\">What Is Direct Sunlight?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/do-pothos-plants-like-direct-sunlight\/#Can_Pothos_Tolerate_Direct_Sunlight\" title=\"Can Pothos Tolerate Direct Sunlight?\">Can Pothos Tolerate Direct Sunlight?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/do-pothos-plants-like-direct-sunlight\/#What_Type_Of_Light_Is_Best_For_Pothos_Plant\" title=\"What Type Of Light Is Best For Pothos Plant?\">What Type Of Light Is Best For Pothos Plant?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/do-pothos-plants-like-direct-sunlight\/#How_To_Make_Pothos_Get_Most_Sunlight\" title=\"How To Make Pothos Get Most Sunlight?\">How To Make Pothos Get Most Sunlight?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/do-pothos-plants-like-direct-sunlight\/#Do_Pothos_Like_Direct_Sunlight_FAQs\" title=\"Do Pothos Like Direct Sunlight FAQs\">Do Pothos Like Direct Sunlight FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Direct_Sunlight\"><\/span>What Is Direct Sunlight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Direct light or direct sunlight is a bit specific to gardening. Basically, it means unfiltered light from the sun. So if you\u2019re placing your plant in an open space where the sun is shining directly on it, it is getting direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Pothos_Tolerate_Direct_Sunlight\"><\/span>Can Pothos Tolerate Direct Sunlight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since pothos is an understory plant, it cannot tolerate direct sunlight really well. If you subject it to direct sunlight, it will get scorched. Other than that, direct sunlight can also dry out the soil faster, leading to frequent watering. Excess watering can lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/pothos-root-rot\/\">root rot<\/a>, a common case in pothos.<\/p>\n<p>Now, that doesn\u2019t mean pothos doesn\u2019t like the light at all. Pothos need sunlight to produce chlorophyll, which is their food. Therefore, sunlight is a prerequisite to the growth and wellness of the pothos plant, not directly, though. For this very reason, pothos plants are best kept indoors than outdoors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Type_Of_Light_Is_Best_For_Pothos_Plant\"><\/span>What Type Of Light Is Best For Pothos Plant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pothos is a strong plant and can easily tolerate low light. However, if we\u2019re talking about the ideal type of light for pothos or Devil\u2019s Ivy, bright, indirect light would be best. As mentioned above, pothos is an understory plant and gets a lot of light coming down, which is referred to as bright, indirect light.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, there are several different varieties of pothos plants and each prefers a different kind of lighting. Below we\u2019ve discussed the lighting requirements of different types of pothos plants.<\/p>\n<h3>Cebu Blue Pothos<\/h3>\n<p>Cebu Blue pothos can thrive in low light also but prefers medium to bright, indirect light for faster growth. Avoid putting it under direct sunlight as that can burn its foliage.<\/p>\n<h3>Pearls N Joy Pothos<\/h3>\n<p>This is a fairly uncommon species of pothos plant but looks extremely beautiful. It thrives best in high to medium light but can tolerate low light fairly well. If you want your Pearls N Joy Pothos to be more variegated, put it under higher light, but never under direct sunlight. It\u2019s as sensitive as other species of pothos plants when it comes to direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<h3>Marble Queen Pothos<\/h3>\n<p>The light requirement of Marble Queen Pothos is the same as Pearls N Joy Pothos. It can survive in low light but performs best in medium to bright, but indirect light. The variegation will also be better if you put it under higher light. Don\u2019t place it under direct sunlight as that will burn its foliage.<\/p>\n<h3>Hawaiian Pothos<\/h3>\n<p>Hawaiian pothos prefers adaptable light. You can keep it under bright, indirect light, but it tolerates medium to low light best. Bright light will also make it more variegated, which I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll all want. Please do not keep Hawaiian pothos under direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<h3>Silver Satin Pothos<\/h3>\n<p>Silver Satin Pothos should be kept under bright, indirect light all year round. If you keep it under harsh, direct sunlight, it will burn its leaves and if the light is too little, the leaves will lose their variegation.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/jade-pothos-care-guide\/\">Jade Pothos<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Jade pothos can adapt fairly well to lower light, but if you want it to be healthy and grow faster, provide it bright, but indirect light all year round. This variety of pothos requires a perfect balance of light as harsh, direct sunlight burns out of the leaves and insufficient light makes the leaves discolored and smaller in size.<\/p>\n<h3>Neon Pothos<\/h3>\n<p>The light requirement of Neon pothos is the same as Jade pothos. Just like Jade pothos, even Neon pothos needs bright, but indirect light all year round. Do not put it under direct sunlight as that will burn the leaves and too little of it will turn it pale green in color.<\/p>\n<h3>Pearls N Joy Pothos<\/h3>\n<p>Pearls N Joy Pothos is best kept under medium and high light but can grow in low light areas as well. Keep it under higher light if you want the variegation to be more pronounced. Just like other species, avoid keeping Pearls N Joy Pothos under direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Make_Pothos_Get_Most_Sunlight\"><\/span>How To Make Pothos Get Most Sunlight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Place your pothos plant in the east-side window.<\/li>\n<li>Keep it in the sunlight for 3 to 4 hours and then move it to some other place.<\/li>\n<li>Place your plant where it can get diffused sunlight.<\/li>\n<li>Place it in a room where it can receive ample sunlight.<\/li>\n<li>Hang it at a place where it can receive indirect bright light all the time.<\/li>\n<li>Place the pothos in diffused light. It will definitely help it thrive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Pothos_Like_Direct_Sunlight_FAQs\"><\/span>Do Pothos Like Direct Sunlight FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Where should I place my pothos plant?<\/h3>\n<p>Pothos plants grow best when placed in bright, but indirect sunlight. Hence, you must avoid putting it in places where it could get burned, such as window sill or porch.<\/p>\n<p>In case you want to put it on the window, go for the east-facing ones. Since pothos can take in 12 hours of sunlight, east-facing windows would be the best option. But don\u2019t forget to filter it with a sheer cloth.<\/p>\n<p>If the need arises, or if you don\u2019t have any other option, you can place your Pothos plant on the west-facing window as well. The light won\u2019t be very strong but it will at least do the needful.<\/p>\n<h3>How would I know if my pothos plant is getting too much sun?<\/h3>\n<p>Pothos plants display a few signs when it&#8217;s receiving too much sun. For instance, if the leaves of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenerstoolbox.com\/pothos-leaves-turning-yellow\/\">pothos are turning yellow<\/a>, it could mean that it&#8217;s absorbing way more sunlight than required. However, if the leaves are turning brown, it means that it isn\u2019t getting enough sunlight.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I put my pothos plant near the window?<\/h3>\n<p>Put your hands out in the light that\u2019s coming from your window. If you get a sunburn or a tan, it means the place isn\u2019t ideal for your pothos plant as it\u2019s receiving direct light. In that case, I would advise you to filter the light through a curtain. And place the pothos are a couple of feet back or to the side so that the sun doesn\u2019t shine directly on it.<\/p>\n<h3>How many hours of sunlight does the pothos plant need?<\/h3>\n<p>3 to 4 hours of sunlight is more than enough for pothos. But they can easily survive 10 to 12 hours of sunlight daily. Even if you fail to provide it with sunlight, it will still survive. But plants require nutrients to live, just like us, and the sunlight is a significant source of it. Plants need sunlight to make chlorophyll, without which they cannot survive. So if you\u2019re growing a plant, take it as a duty to provide it with everything that it needs.<\/p>\n<p>Pothos, with their beautiful heart, shapes leaves and cascading vines make an excellent indoor plant. It doesn\u2019t require a lot of attention to grow. Just take care of its basic requirements and you\u2019ll always have healthy pothos in your house. As for the light, almost all the species of pothos plant grow fine in bright, well-lit areas and even low light, but avoid keeping it under direct sunlight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pothos, scientifically known as Epipremnum aureum, is a low-maintenance plant known for its durability and ease of care.
