Epipremnum aureum

Epipremnum aureum is a tropical climbing aroid with flexible vines, glossy heart-shaped leaves, and aerial roots that anchor to bark, moss poles, trellises, or other textured supports. In indoor pots it usually keeps its juvenile foliage, with green leaves marked by yellow to cream streaking, while supported mature plants can eventually produce larger, thicker leaves with a more divided outline.

This species is often called golden pothos, devil’s ivy, or simply pothos in everyday plant trade, although Pothos is also a separate botanical genus. The plant sold as Epipremnum aureum belongs in Araceae and grows naturally as a wet-tropical climber from Mo‘orea in the Society Islands, where its stems use aerial roots to move upward through humid forest structure.

Golden pothos traits at a glance

  • Evergreen aroid vine with trailing or climbing stems.
  • Glossy juvenile leaves with a broad heart-shaped base.
  • Green foliage with yellow to cream marbling and streaks.
  • Aerial roots that attach readily to moss poles, bark boards, or rough supports.
  • Node-based stems that can trail, climb, branch, or root from cuttings in indoor pots.

How this species climbs and fills a pot

Epipremnum aureum grows from nodes spaced along flexible stems. Each node can produce a leaf, an aerial root, and a new shoot, which makes the plant easy to prune, root, and train. In a hanging pot the stems cascade and create a loose curtain of foliage; on a vertical support the same plant directs growth upward and can develop larger leaves over time.

As a wet-tropical climber, Epipremnum aureum needs air as well as moisture around the roots. A loose substrate and a pot with drainage are essential. Warmth keeps growth active, while consistent bright indirect light helps leaves expand evenly and protects the glossy surface from scorch.

Care for strong vines and airy roots

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light or soft filtered light. The plant tolerates medium light, but very dim placement slows internode growth and can make vines thinner.
  • Water: Water when the upper 20–30% of the potting mix has dried. The stems recover well from slight drying, while saturated mix can weaken the fine roots.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco chips, or similar coarse material so water drains quickly and oxygen reaches the root zone.
  • Temperature: Keep between 18–28 °C for regular growth. Protect from cold windowsills, winter draughts, and temperatures below about 12–15 °C.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated. Higher humidity helps new leaves expand more smoothly, especially on climbing stems.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding in winter or under low light.
  • Support and pruning: Let vines trail, or guide them onto a moss pole for stronger upward growth. Prune above a node to encourage branching and root cuttings from healthy stem pieces.

Problems that show up on older vines

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the potting mix has stayed wet for too long. Let the mix dry further and improve drainage before watering again.
  • Brown, dry leaf edges: Look for irregular watering, strong sun, salt build-up, or dry heat near radiators. Flush the mix occasionally and move the plant away from hot air.
  • Long bare sections: Increase light gradually and prune leggy stems back to active nodes so new shoots can fill in closer to the pot.
  • Soft stems near the base: Inspect the roots and lower nodes. Soft, dark tissue usually points to overwatering, cold wet substrate, or poor aeration.
  • Sticky leaves or speckling: Check the undersides and stem joints for scale, mealybugs, thrips, or mites, then isolate and treat early.

Safety around pets and children

Epipremnum aureum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Chewed leaves or stems can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue, and digestive tract, so keep the plant away from pets and small children. Wear gloves if your skin reacts easily to aroid sap.

Botanical name background

The genus name Epipremnum comes from Greek roots meaning “upon” and “trunk,” a reference to its climbing habit. The species epithet aureum means “golden,” matching the yellow-gold variegation associated with the classic cultivated plant.

I don't know what it's supposed to be like
I have never had Biltong so I have no idea how this compares to others. I was pretty excited about it because it claims to be a tender beef snack, better than jerky. In my experience though, there were a couple things I should note. It's not that tender. It's not super chewy like some very dry jerky is but it's sort of like a very thick paper. I think it would be a really good texture if it were more tender but as-is, I don't know if people purely prefer it or if it's sort of a traditional thing that has a texture they try to nail. It's not big on flavor. Clearly it is spiced for flavor to a degree but it's very muted. Regarding heat, I have a lot of spicy food so maybe people that don't would think otherwise but, to me, calling it spicy is a huge overstatement. I need to try other biltong because it's entirely possible that this is a prime example and I just don't know it, but if it is I can't say I'm a big fan.

Good Cut/Texture, Spicy Flavor Isn't the Best - Try Traditional!
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Update: Great customer service! They provided a pack of traditional flavor after seeing my review (originally 3 stars, now 5). The traditional flavor is MUCH better and passed the taste-test from everyone in my house. I imagined traditional flavor would be like spicy - just milder. I was wrong, it's a very different flavor, more familiar to American jerky, but still very unique and delicious. Combined with the unique texture (biltong is new to me), it's hard not to eat this by the handful. Getting the right flavor completely changed my opinion. Try traditional first! Original Review: I appreciate the nutrition, great for snacking. The cut/texture is good - seems like thicker cuts of dried meat sliced wafer thin. I tried Spicy Biltong, which wasn't great. I normally share a little bit of jerky with my young son and even my wife has some occasionally. We all agreed that the flavor wasn't great. Maybe other flavors are better. Better flavor would have made all the difference, but at this price, I probably won't risk it.

Buy if you like shredded meat I guess
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was so excited to try these “slices” of beef because I grew up eating deer biltong made from deers my uncles would go hunt. Some of the best snacks I ever had, absolutely delicious. So when I decided to see if any biltong was actually sold around here I was surprised and pleased this was available. Unlike beef jerky which uses lots of sugar for some reason I was hoping this would have more meaty flavor but it doesn’t really. Although that might be due to the fact that I did get “slices” of meat, no what I got was basically shredded and powdered. It’s salty, but has absolutely no spice whatsoever and is just not good at all.

Very greasy biltong and not spicy at all
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The flavor is ok but the spice is almost nonexistent. It’s super greasy/oily, with big pieces of fat, so if you’re expecting a nice lean, dry, and spicy biltong, this is not the right one to try. I took the photo to try and capture the shiny, wet, translucent appearance of this biltong but it’s hard to see. Maybe it’s just personal preference but I’m used to biltong being dry and opaque with nearly zero fat chunks and not leaving a film of oil on my hands after eating it.

Most like South African Biltong
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Firstly, this is NOT JERKY!! So please stop comparing it to that disgusting, over-processed, artificially flavored stuff. Nothing can compare to good biltong. It is seasoned and air dried meat that is the most amazing high protein snack available. Jerky doesn't deserve to be in the same room as biltong, let alone compared to it. I am a South African recently relocated to the USA and have been trying various Biltong brands available. This is by far the best. I prefer the spicy to the original, but that it a personal preference, the original is also very good, but could do with a bit more flavor. The dry wors is also good, but I am a big biltong eater and always have been. For those of you who don't know, dry wors is a thin sausage (sausage = wors), that has been air dried. It is not a brat type sausage that most Americans are familiar with, it is more a kielbasa or Argentinian style sausage (but not quite). Thank you, being able to have this, has prevented me from going crazy some days. Now I just need to try your boerewors!
