Golden Pothos

Golden Pothos — Classic Houseplant, Easy Care

About the Plant
The Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is one of the most popular and dependable houseplants, valued for its trailing vines and heart-shaped leaves marbled with shades of green and golden yellow. It adapts easily to a variety of indoor conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced plant lovers alike. Its vining habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, climbing up trellises, or cascading from shelves.

Growth Habit

Type: Evergreen tropical vine.

Mature Size: Indoors, vines may trail 6–10 feet or more; outdoors in tropical climates, can grow much longer.

Foliage: Glossy, heart-shaped leaves with golden variegation.

Growth Rate: Fast grower under the right conditions.

Care & Cultivation

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low-light conditions. Brighter light encourages more golden variegation.

Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Tolerates occasional missed waterings, but avoid soggy soil.

Soil: Well-draining potting mix. A peat-based or aroid mix works well.

Temperature & Humidity: Prefers typical household temperatures (65–85°F) and moderate humidity but adapts well to average indoor air.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).

Pruning: Trim vines to encourage fuller growth and use cuttings to propagate new plants easily in water or soil.
