55 - 65cm Epipremnum Skeleton Key on Mosspole Pothos 17cm Pot House Plant
Epipremnum Skeleton Key, with its uniquely shaped leaves, is an exciting addition to any houseplant collection. When trained to grow on a mosspole, it provides an aesthetic boost to your indoor jungle. Here's a detailed guide on caring for this plant:
Light: The Epipremnum Skeleton Key prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate moderate shade, but too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.
Water: Water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. As a general rule, it's better to under-water than over-water.
Humidity: This plant enjoys a higher level of humidity. Maintain this by placing it near a humidifier, grouping it with other plants, or using a pebble tray filled with water. The mosspole can also contribute to the plant's humidity requirements.
Temperature: Epipremnum Skeleton Key thrives in average indoor temperatures, typically between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Soil: A well-draining soil mix that retains some moisture is ideal. A blend of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss generally works well.
Feeding: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce feeding during the dormant period in fall and winter.
Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the desired shape and size of the plant. It also encourages more bushy growth.
Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Always use a pot with drainage holes.
Training on Mosspole: The Epipremnum Skeleton Key enjoys climbing. Attach its vines to the mosspole using a gentle plant tie, ensuring not to damage the stems. The plant will naturally start to cling to the pole as it grows.
Propagation: The Epipremnum Skeleton Key can be propagated through stem cuttings placed in water or directly planted into soil.
Keep in mind that each plant is unique and may not follow the exact care instructions based on different environmental conditions. Always keep an eye out for signs of stress and adjust care as necessary.
