Enhance Drainage with Perlite: Mix 1 part perlite with 2 parts potting mix for improved drainage and aeration. Perlite prevents waterlogging, crucial for healthy roots. 🌬️🌿

Use Vermiculite for Dry Climates (Optional): In dry environments, add a small amount (10-20%) of vermiculite to the mix for better moisture retention and aeration. 💦🌵

Add Compost for Nutrients (Optional): Incorporate well-aged compost (10-20%) to provide extra nutrients. Ensure it’s fully decomposed to avoid pests. 🍂🌼

Include Coconut Coir for Moisture (Optional): Add 10-20% coconut coir as an eco-friendly alternative to peat moss, helping soil retain moisture effectively. 🥥🌱

Test and Adjust pH Levels: Ensure the pH of your mix is slightly acidic to neutral (6.0 to 7.0). Adjust with pH modifiers if necessary for optimal Pothos growth. 🔍🌡️

Consider Mineral and Microbial Additions (Optional): Add slow-release minerals like crushed eggshells or mycorrhizal fungi for enhanced nutrient absorption and root health. 🍳🍄

Monitor and Adjust Care Routinely: Use a moisture meter to check watering needs, repot every 1-2 years, and observe your Pothos’s response, adjusting the mix as needed. 👀🌱🌻
