Flushes Salt Buildup

• Watering the golden pothos plant with pure water can be beneficial, because it flushes salt from the roots of the plant. Salt in the soil tends to build on the pothos plant's roots over time. If the salt is allowed to remain on the roots, it can eat away at them, making it more difficult for the plant to absorb nutrients from the soil. Thus, regular treatments with pure water can help prolong the plant's life.
