As a gardening and landscaping expert, I have worked with many different types of plants, including pothos. When it comes to the specific variety of pothos known as Global Green, it is important to note that like all pothos, they do enjoy being a little bit root-bound before being transplanted.
Root-bound refers to when the roots of a plant have filled up the container they are in and start to become crowded. This can happen when a plant has been growing in the same pot for an extended period of time without being transplanted. In the case of Global Green pothos, you may start to notice the roots trailing around the bottom of the container or even poking out of the pot’s drainage hole.
This is actually a good sign and indicates that the plant is thriving and growing well. The roots of the Global Green pothos are actively seeking out more space and nutrients, which is why they start to extend beyond the confines of their current container.
When a plant becomes root-bound, it is important to provide it with a larger pot to allow for further growth and development. Transplanting the Global Green pothos into a bigger container will give its roots more room to spread out and access additional nutrients in the soil. This will ultimately promote healthier growth and a more robust plant.
I have personally experienced the need to transplant my Global Green pothos when I noticed the roots becoming visible at the bottom of the pot. I carefully removed the plant from its current container, being mindful not to damage the roots, and placed it into a larger pot filled with fresh potting soil. After the transplant, I noticed that the plant seemed to thrive even more, with new leaves emerging and a fuller overall appearance.
Global Green pothos, like all pothos plants, prefer to be slightly root-bound before being transplanted. This is indicated by roots trailing around the bottom of the container or poking out of the drainage hole. Transplanting the plant into a larger pot will provide the roots with more space to grow and access nutrients, resulting in healthier and more vigorous growth.
