Wildlife value of Pothos — an unexpected bonus

I planted Pothos primarily for ornamental reasons. What I didn't anticipate was the wildlife it would attract. air-purifying properties in enclosed indoor spaces seems to be particularly appealing to bees and butterflies during the main growing period.

I grow it in an office desk with a grow light supplement which allows me to watch the activity up close. growth spurt when longer days arrive in spring is the most active period for wildlife visits. wiping dusty leaves with a damp cloth to improve light absorption is important for keeping the plant healthy enough to flower well and provide that value. overwatering causing yellowing leaves and root rot is the thing to watch — it reduces flowering and therefore wildlife visits if left unchecked. A plant that earns its place twice over.
