Golden Pothos Plant Care
Sunlight
The Golden Pothos can adapt to medium levels of light but thrives in bright
indirect light. Like other variegated plants, the light helps it maintain its
variegation. Avoid direct
sunlight as it may cause the leaves to burn.
Water
Pothos prefer to be moist but not wet. Water and allow soil to properly drain.
Yellow leaves are a sign of overwatering so simply scale the water back and
watch it grow happily.
Climate
Tropical plants like the Pothos enjoy high humidity and temperatures of 70 –
90°F.
Soil
A very light feeder, apply a balanced houseplant fertilizer at half strength
once every 1 – 3 months.
Plant Story
Golden Pothos
Epipremnum aureum
A tropical, climbing plant with green and yellow marbled waxy leaves.
Epipremnum aureum, commonly known as a Golden Pothos or Devil’s Ivy, is a
tropical, climbing plant native to the Solomon Islands. The Golden Pothos is a
variegated plant. Its waxy green leaves have splashes of yellow, white and
cream that create a marbled effect. While young, Golden Pothos have oval
leaves with heart shaped bases.
One of the most common types of Pothos, Golden is popular for indoor spaces
due to its durability and ability to maintain leaf variegation in low light
environments. Golden Pothos can be grown in a pot with a trellis or in a
hanging basket. Popular in offices, Golden Pothos can survive with artificial
lighting and in dimly lit areas but prefer natural indirect light. Allow the
soil to dry out between watering as it’s best to underwater than oversaturate
the soil. Its ability to grow well in poor lit conditions with missed watering
makes the Golden Pothos the perfect plant for beginner plant parents.
