Pothos Golden

Golden Pothos, Epipremnum aureum

Pothos Golden is a classic, low-maintenance trailing houseplant known for its heart-shaped leaves marbled in vibrant green and golden-yellow. Fast-growing and incredibly forgiving, this tropical vine is ideal for hanging baskets, climbing totems, or cascading from shelves and plant stands. Its bright variegation adds instant warmth and color to any space.

Also known as Epipremnum aureum, Golden Pothos is well-loved for its adaptability to a wide range of conditions. It tolerates low light, infrequent watering, and dry air. It is the perfect starter plant or office companion. When given brighter indirect light, its golden tones become more pronounced, and growth becomes more vigorous.

Whether you’re creating a lush indoor jungle or just starting your houseplant journey, Golden Pothos is an essential go-to for easy greenery, reliable growth, and timeless beauty.

Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Tolerates low to bright indirect light; best variegation occurs in medium to bright light.
Soil Needs: Prefers a well-draining, loamy potting mix; add perlite for improved aeration.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry; do not allow soil to stay soggy.
Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity; occasional misting can boost growth in dry environments.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim to control length or encourage bushier growth; remove any yellowing leaves at the base.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; refresh soil to maintain good drainage.

Please note: This plant comes in its grower’s nursery pot, ready for you to place in your favorite decorative pot at home. The pot in the picture is not included.
