Garden Goods Direct | Golden Pothos

Golden Pothos is one of the most well-known, popular houseplants, and for good reason. We will forever love these trailing tropicals, both for their timeless beauty and for their low-maintenance care regimen. Botanically referred to as ‘Epipremnum aureum, ‘ the Golden Pothos sports gorgeous green heart-shaped leaves with splashes of gold variegation. Noted for their ability to grow in a wide variety of conditions, these popular indoor plants are perfect for beginner plant parents. Also nicknamed the Devil’s Ivy, these green queens grow vigorously and are one of the easiest houseplants to care for. Therefore, Pothos does well in hanging baskets or plant stands where the foliage can vine freely, covering space other plants can’t. The plant’s trailing stems can also be trained to climb up amoss poleor trellis to replicate their natural growth. Pothos plants prefer bright indirect light and the soil to dry out between waterings. Though this plant is extremely difficult to kill, any houseplant can be stressed out if given improper conditions. Signs that your Pothos is stressed would include yellowing leaves and crisp browning foliage. If your Pothos seems distressed, you may want to try giving it a fresh potting mix. It is fully possible your indoor plant may have just outgrown its pot. Additional plant care tips include using a well-draining potting mix and a planter with drainage holes to avoid the chances of your plant’s roots rotting. If you didn’t fall in love with this plant, wait until you try multiplying your Pothos. These easy-to-grow plants can be easily propagated by placing stem cuttings in a clear jar of water. As your plants produce gorgeous roots before your eyes, you, too, will soon be obsessed with the Golden Pothos. It is important to note that these plants are toxic to pets, so be sure to place your plant somewhere out of reach of your cats and dogs.
