Satin Pothos is a sweet little vining houseplant with a slow to moderate growth rate. It doesn’t grow fast, but yours will need a bigger pot at some point.

When choosing a pot size to increase to I usually go up one size, for example from a 6 inch to 8 inch pot. My Scindapsus pictus was in a 4 inch and I repotted it into a 6 inch grow pot.

Water the Scindapsus a couple of days before repotting. You don’t want your plant to be dry and stressed during the process.

They aren’t too fussy when it comes to the soil they’re planted in but they do best in a rich, organic potting mix. I always use a good quality organic potting soil that is peat based and provides good drainage.

Cover the bottom of the pot with a layer of newspaper. My grow pot had multiple drainage holes and this keeps the fresh mix from flowing out before it gets a chance to settle in.

Place the Satin Pothos in the new pot and fill in with soil mix and a bit of compost. Note: You may need to add more a bit more mix in the coming months if the plant sinks down after repeated waterings.

Sometimes the mix gets olds and needs replenishing. Even if your Satin Pothos isn’t root bound, it’ll appreciate a fresh soil mix after the 3 – 5 year point.
