-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Almost all tropical, subtropical, semi-aquatic, and temperate-habitat adapted reptiles and amphibians.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma

Soil Depth: Moderate to deep, can also vine and grow up wood and backgrounds, or be placed near or in water features for aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats.

Lighting: All light levels

Humidity & Misting: 40%-100% ; can tolerate less than 40%, but higher humidity is suggested for optimal growth.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: This very fast growing plant will form vines that will creep and climb wherever it can! Vigorous root system will burrow deep and/or form aerial roots to cling to surfaces in high humidity environments.  It can also grow in water features.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures or low humidity may cause leaves to brown.  Optimal temperature is between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but can tolerate between 50 and 90.  Can be used as a back/wall planting, or as a groundcover if maintained low.  Can also be mounted on wood or backgrounds.  

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Pothos are members of the family Araceae, so they contain low levels of oxalic acid and sharp calcium oxalate crystals known as raphides. Ingestion is not recommended and may cause oral irritation, however, reptiles and amphibians do not typically eat them.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 6" potted pothos plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
