Overview:
Golden Pothos is a true houseplant classic—easygoing, fast-growing, and effortlessly beautiful. Its heart-shaped, glossy leaves are splashed with golden-yellow variegation, brightening any space with a touch of tropical charm. Renowned for its air-purifying properties and tolerance of a wide range of indoor conditions, it’s perfect for beginners and collectors alike. Whether trailing from a shelf or climbing a moss pole, this plant brings vibrant energy to every corner.

Growing Conditions in Native Habitat:
In its natural habitat, Golden Pothos climbs tall trees in humid rainforests, where it enjoys dappled light and consistently moist soil.

Care Guide
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but is highly tolerant of low light. Too little light can reduce variegation; too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Ideal Room: Versatile enough for almost any space—ideal for living rooms, offices, kitchens, or bathrooms with natural light.
Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Minimal feeding required in winter.
Humidity: Happy in average household humidity, but will thrive in more humid conditions.
Ideal Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Watering: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. It’s better to underwater than overwater—this plant is drought-tolerant but sensitive to soggy roots.

Pet/Child Safe: Toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children due to calcium oxalate crystals that may cause irritation.

Soil Type: Use a well-draining indoor plant mix. A blend of potting compost, coco coir, and perlite provides the ideal balance of moisture and drainage.

Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings in water or soil. A great plant to share with friends or expand your collection.

Eventual Height and Spread: Can trail or climb up to 6–10 feet (1.8–3 meters) indoors with support. Naturally vining and adaptable to pruning.

Growth Rate: Fast-growing under the right conditions. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth.

Pests and Treatment: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract spider mites or mealybugs. Wipe leaves regularly and treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots begin to outgrow the container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

Pruning: Prune regularly to shape and control size. Trim back leggy vines to encourage fuller growth.

Air Purification: Known for its air-cleaning abilities, Golden Pothos filters pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene—making it as functional as it is beautiful.

Folklore: Often considered a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in many cultures. The “Devil’s Ivy” nickname comes from its near indestructibility, even in challenging environments.
