Find out how to grow a Pothos Curtain that Covers Your Window with this simple step-by-step guide and create a living blind in your home.
If you want to bring nature indoors, a pothos curtain is a beautiful idea. Pothos is a popular houseplant known for its fast growth, trailing vines, and easy care. When you train it to grow around your window, you can create a natural green curtain that filters light, adds nature, and makes your home feel fresh. In this post, you will learn how to grow a Pothos Curtain that Covers Your Window.
How to Grow a Pothos Curtain that Covers Your Window
Things You’ll Need:
- A pothos plant (or a few small ones)
- Hanging pots, wall planters, or shelves near your window
- Hooks, nails, or adhesive clips for support
- Strong twine, fishing line, or a curtain rod
- Scissors or pruners
Steps:
1. Select the Right Spot
Choose a bright window for creating a curtain from pothos in your home. Remember that east- or north-facing windows are the right choice for this purpose. If you already have a pothos in your home, you will be aware of the fact that this houseplant prefers light, indirect sunlight and not direct light.
2. Choose Your Planters
You can hang your pothos in baskets, place them on shelves, or keep them in regular pots on the windowsill. Make sure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.
3. Provide the Support
To create a curtain effect, add a curtain rod, twine, or a grid of strings across the window. Use wall hooks or adhesive clips to guide the vines in the direction you want them to grow.
4. Train the Vines
As the pothos vines grow longer, gently guide and tie them to the strings or rod. Don’t tie too tightly; leave room for the vine to grow. You can weave the vines back and forth to make the curtain look fuller.
5. Promote Growth
Place the plant in bright, indirect light; it helps the leaves stay big and green. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Don’t overwater.
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a liquid houseplant fertilizer for faster growth.
6. Keep Your Pothos Curtain Clean
Trim any vines that grow too long or out of place. You can use these cuttings to start new plants and add them to your curtain for extra thickness.
Points to Consider
- Start with two or three pothos plants instead of one. They’ll fill the space faster.
- Mix different varieties like golden pothos, marble queen, or neon pothos for a colorful curtain.
- Rotate pots every few weeks so all sides of the plant get enough light.
- If the vines look thin, pinch off the tips to encourage bushier growth.
