All About Epipremnum Aureum N' JOY Pothos Pot Plant

Growing Pot Plants

One of the most fun aspects of growing houseplants is watching them grow and thrive. It's incredibly rewarding to see a plant that you've been nurturing start to sprout new leaves or even bloom flowers. The process of caring for a plant and seeing the results of your efforts can be incredibly gratifying.

There are so many different types of plants to choose from.

Each with its unique care requirements, and aesthetic appeal. 

Whether you prefer flowering plants, succulents, or tropical foliage, there is a plant for everyone.

There is also a danger of becoming addicted to this hobby. It's easy to get carried away and finding yourself constantly adding new plants to your collection. Before you know it, your home may start to resemble a jungle!

Despite the potential for addiction, growing houseplants can bring happiness and fulfilment to one's life. It's a hobby that allows you to connect with nature, and create a beautiful and peaceful living environment. 

I admit I may have developed a pot plant addiction!

Epipremnum Aureum N' Joy Pothos is the latest addition to my collection.

Epipremnum Aureum N' JOY Pothos plant

The Epipremnum Aureum N' Joy Pothos plant, also known as Silver Vine, is a popular houseplant known for its beautiful variegated heart-shaped leaves. 

Originating from the Society Islands of French Polynesia, this plant thrives in a tropical environment in the South Pacific.

Natural Environment

In its natural habitat, the Epipremnum Aureum N' JOY Pothos can be found climbing trees in the rainforest, where it receives filtered sunlight and high humidity levels. It grows under the canopy of trees, making it an ideal choice for low-light indoor spaces.

It has now naturalized in tropical and sub-tropical forests worldwide. In some countries, it has caused severe ecological damage.

In no light, the plant will lose its variegation completely, but will still survive, which is why it is also known as Devil's Vine.

As a potted plant, it probably won't flower.  The last known spontaneous flowering in cultivation was reported in 1964!

Caring for the Plant

To care for the Epipremnum Aureum N' Joy Pothos as a pot plant, you should provide well-draining potting soil and a container with drainage holes to prevent overwatering. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, and allow excess water to drain.

Place the plant in indirect sunlight, as too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. You can also mist the leaves occasionally to increase humidity around the plant.

Regularly prune the plant to encourage bushier growth and remove any yellowing or dead leaves. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.

DIY Coffee Lovers Candle Holder

Coffee beans are truly a marvel of nature. 

Coffee Beans

From the moment they are planted in rich soil to the delightful aroma they release when brewed to drink, there are many reasons to love these little beans.

There is nothing quite like the aromatic delight and sensory experience of freshly ground coffee beans. The rich, earthy aroma that fills the air when brewing a fresh pot of coffee is enough to make anyone's mouth water. 

Coffee Beans

Coffee beans are versatile and can be used beyond just brewing a drink. They can be infused into savoury dishes and desserts.

There are many benefits of used coffee grounds too.

Garden Fertiliser:

Coffee grounds are rich in nutrients like nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.  They help improve soil quality, boost plant growth and deter slugs and snails.

DIY Exfoliating Facemask:

Mixing used coffee grounds with honey or coconut oil creates a natural exfoliating scrub that helps remove dead skin cells and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Odour Neutraliser:

Place a bowl of dried used coffee grounds in your refrigerator to absorb unwanted smells.

Coffee Bean Crafts

There are many uses, but today we are creating another sensory but non-edible way to use whole coffee beans by creating a DIY Coffee Bean Candle holder.

Instructions:

1. Start by filling the glass candle holder halfway with the loose beans.

2. Assess the height of your candle and internal holder, add more beans if necessary to bring the candle up so the wick is just below the rim of the candle holder. 

3. Continue filling with coffee beans around the sides of the candle in the holder.

Note:

You can just put the candle straight into the beans if you don't have a smaller glass vessel for it.

Candles in the home décor

Your beautiful coffee bean candle holder is now ready to use! 

The warmth of the lit candle will release the aroma of coffee beans, creating an aromatic coffee-lover atmosphere in your home. 

I have placed my candle holder on the coffee table, where the warmth of the sun on the beans releases coffee aroma, even without lighting the candle!

This DIY project also makes a great gift for coffee lovers or as a unique table centrepiece for special occasions.

Enjoy your coffee-scented candle holder but remember never leave lit candles unattended.
