Brighten Any Room with the Easy-Care Golden Pothos Plant

Golden Pothos is an easy-care houseplant known for its lush trailing vines and striking green-and-yellow variegated leaves. Perfect for hanging baskets or shelf displays, it thrives indoors with minimal effort.

Dark green leaves with golden yellow variegation line the tropical plant’s long vines all throughout the year. Epipremnum aureum, as it is botanically named, has a nickname of Devil’s Ivy and comes from the Soloman Islands near Australia. It is commonly seen climbing up tree trunks or spreading across the forest floor as a ground cover in its natural habitat.

Young plants will shoot out dark green and waxy heart-shaped leaves that eventually fade to a yellow marbled look. In the wild, it will produce flowers that eventually turn into berries. It is rarely seen in the flowering form as an indoor houseplant.

The trailing pothos vines look nice in a hanging basket too. Any person with a green thumb can keep it thriving! This is a super easy houseplant to have.

Golden Pothos Care

Golden Pothos vines are best grown with bright indirect light and moist, well draining soil. It can tolerate low light conditions but at least 4 hours of indirect light is best.

Indoor Golden Pothos prefers potting soil with lots of perlite to increase the drainage and prevent root rot.  It can survive growing outdoors in the United States in USDA hardiness zones 10-12 in an area with partial sun or partial shade as long as it is protected from the hot afternoon sun.

Water thoroughly the first year of planting to establish a strong root system and decrease the watering schedule in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

Prune the Golden Pothos to maintain the desired size and shape as needed. The plant can take a heavy pruning and bounce back with great vigor. A slow release houseplant fertilizer will do the plant wonders. Apply as needed.

All parts of this plant are toxic if ingested by humans or pets.
