Water: Manjula Pothos thrives in high humidity and requires consistent moisture without overwatering. Weekly watering helps maintain its health. As an evergreen often grown indoors, manjula Pothos's glossy leaves need adequate humidity to reflect its tropical origins, necessitating monitoring of indoor air dryness.

Fertilize: For manjula Pothos, use balanced fertilizers bi-monthly in spring and summer, reducing to quarterly in fall and winter at a quarter strength to prevent root burn. Proper application on damp soil promotes healthy foliage and resilience, supporting manjula Pothos's growth phases and seasonal needs.

Pruning: Manjula Pothos features variegated leaves and cascading growth. Prune yellow or dead leaves, overgrown stems, and pinch tips in early to late spring. This enhances air circulation, reduces disease risk, and promotes growth. Use sterilized tools and maintain the plant's shape during pruning.

Propagation: Manjula Pothos is propagated by taking cuttings with a healthy node and several leaves. Use potting soil or water for rooting, ensuring a warm, humid environment. Keep in indirect light and moist. Roots typically establish within weeks, allowing for potting as a new plant.

Repotting: Repot manjula Pothos in spring, selecting a container that is no more than 2 inches (5 cm) larger than the rootball. Utilize a nutrient-rich, soil-based potting mix for optimal growth.
