Baltic Blue Pothos Care

Give your greenie a drink when half of the soil dries out. It’s important to maintain an appropriate watering routine and not waterlog the plant so as not to cause root rot issues.

It’s not necessary to prune Baltic Blue Pothos; however, you can practice it to maintain the plant’s shape. Remove the desired branches with sharp scissors. It's best to prune in early spring.

It’s recommended to give your leafy greenie extra feeding once a month during the spring-summer active growth period. Dilute a balanced 10-10-10 NPK fertilizer to the half-recommended dose and feed the plant.

It’s best to keep this plant in a sunny place with indirect light. It can also tolerate low light conditions; however, the foliage it develops will lack fenestrations.

Baltic Blue Pothos feels best in an acidic environment with 5.5-6.5 pH level. It’s recommended to amend soil drainage by mixing in some perlite or vermiculite. Additionally, put 1 in (3 cm) of pebbles at the bottom of the pot.

Stem cutting is the fastest and easiest way to propagate Baltic Blue Pothos. Take a healthy 4-6 inch (10-15 cm) long stem and remove the lover leaves. Remember to cut under the node. Place the cut end into a glass filled with water and keep it in a bright place under indirect light. The white roots should appear in several weeks, and once they reach at least 1 in (2.5 cm) long, the new greenie is ready for planting into the ground.

A mild temperature of 65-80°F (18-26°C) is what Baltic Blue Pothos enjoys. It’s also recommended to mist it regularly, as tropical plants prefer higher humidity levels. Exposing the plant to a temperature below 55°F (13°F) can damage it.

Growing Baltic Blue Pothos in a container, opt for a 2 times bigger pot than the current root ball. It’s important to choose a container with drainage holes to allow excess water to flow out easily. As for materials, choose a pot made of plastic or glazed ceramics not to let moisture evaporate too quickly.

The plant gets its name from the ability to obtain a bluish shade with age. Contrary to other Pothos species, Baltic Blue Pothos develops cuts on the leaves far earlier.
