Epipremnum aureum 'Golden Pothos' is a popular trailing houseplant known for its heart-shaped green leaves splashed with golden-yellow variegation. It is highly adaptable, easy to care for, and an excellent air purifier.
Description:
- Dimensions: Can trail or climb up to 6-10 feet indoors, with leaves spreading 3-4 inches wide.
- Sun Exposure: Thrives in part sun to shade; tolerates low light but prefers bright, indirect light.
- Water Requirements: Prefers well-draining soil; water when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering.
- Hardiness Zones: Hardy in Zones 10-12 (grown as a houseplant in cooler climates).
- Bloom Time: Rarely flowers indoors; flowers only in mature outdoor plants.
- Pruning: Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth and remove yellowing leaves.
How to Plant:
- Location: Ideal for indoor settings with indirect light; can also be grown outdoors in warm, shaded areas.
- Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
- Planting: Repot when roots outgrow the container; plant at the same depth as the previous pot.
- Spacing: If planting multiple in a container, allow at least 6 inches between plants for growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly, letting excess water drain out. Reduce watering in winter.
Fun Fact:
Epipremnum aureum 'Golden Pothos' is often called the "Devil’s Ivy" because it remains green even in low light conditions and is nearly impossible to kill!
