Yes the pothos plant is the same as devil's ivy.

Devil's Ivy is just another name for the Pothos plant and the Pothos plant has many other names it's known by as well.

Some other common names for pothos plants besides Devil's Ivy are Ceylon creeper, hunter's robe, golden pothos, Ivy arum, money plant, silver vine and Solomon Islands.

Oh and I almost forgot another common name for Pothos plants besides the above listed names is taro vine.

The pothos plant has the name Devil's Ivy because it's a very hardy plant and is almost impossible to kill the Pothos Plant off.

So that is why Pothos plants are called the Devil's Ivy.

You should water your pothos plants every 1 to 2 weeks.

A good indication of your pothos plant needing water is when the foliage begins to wilt.

It is best to water just as the pothos plant begins to wilt (not after it has collapsed), and always be sure to feel the soil in addition to visually monitoring the plant.

Water your Pothos every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between watering.

Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Some signs of over watering include yellowing leaves and black stems, while under watered plants will wilt and their potting mix will dry out.

You only need to water your pothos plants when the soil for the pothos plants becomes dry.

So whenever the soil that the pothos plant is in gets dry to the touch then it's time to water them.

You can water the pothos plant when the soil is still damp to prevent the possibility of forgetting to water the Pothos plant.

I water my Pothos plant twice per week which is usually enough and when it's hotter outside I water the Pothos plants 3 times per week.

Just keep an eye on the Pothos plants soil and when it becomes dry to the touch then it's time to water the Pothos plant.
