  •   Pothos 'Golden' is a beloved trailing vine in the Epipremnum genus, native to the Solomon Islands where it scrambles through tropical forest floors and climbs towering trees. One of the most popular easy care houseplants in the world, it has earned a loyal following from beginners and collectors alike for its near-indestructible nature and cheerful, cascading growth.

      Pothos 'Golden' is instantly recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves splashed with golden-yellow variegation across a rich emerald green base. The waxy, glossy foliage grows on long, flexible vines that trail beautifully from shelves and hanging baskets, and the more light this fast growing plant receives, the bolder and more vivid those golden streaks become.

      Pothos 'Golden' rarely flowers indoors, so its real star power comes from its foliage and its genuinely impressive air purifying ability. Studies have shown it filters formaldehyde and other indoor toxins, making it a hardworking addition to any room, not just a pretty face.

      Pothos 'Golden' thrives in kitchens where ambient moisture keeps it lush, and its trailing vines look stunning when given a hanging hook or allowed to drape from a high shelf. It can head outdoors for summer in a sheltered spot, though it needs cover from rain and should come back inside before temperatures drop. This low light tolerant, air purifying plant is a perennial favorite as an indoor plant gift, and it earns its place in any collection by being genuinely beautiful and genuinely forgiving.

  •   Pothos 'Golden' grows happily in low, medium, or bright indirect light, even thriving under standard office LEDs, but scorches in direct south-facing sun.

      Water Pothos 'Golden' every 1-2 weeks, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out completely; it will wilt slightly to let you know when it's thirsty.

      Pothos 'Golden' prefers a well-draining potting mix, ideally a blend of standard potting soil with added perlite to prevent soggy roots.

      Pothos 'Golden' is happiest between 65-85°F (18-29°C) and should be kept away from cold drafts, AC vents, and heater airflow that can stress the foliage.

      Pothos 'Golden' is a fast growing plant; feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to keep those vines charging.

      Pothos 'Golden' is rated for USDA FAQs/ Common Issues Zones 10-12, tolerating temperatures no lower than about 30-35°F (around 0-2°C) before foliage suffers. Outdoors year-round, Pothos 'Golden' thrives in warm coastal and southern states including Hawaii, Florida, southern California, southern Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana. Gardeners in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and along the sheltered coasts of Oregon and Washington can also enjoy it outside through milder seasons with some protection.
  • Q: How much light does Pothos 'Golden' need?
    A: Pothos 'Golden' adapts beautifully to low, medium, or bright indirect light, making it perfect for offices, bedrooms, or any room without direct sun exposure.

    Q: How often should I water Pothos 'Golden'?
    A: Water Pothos 'Golden' every one to two weeks, letting the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. It will tell you when it needs a drink by slightly wilting its leaves.

    Q: Is Pothos 'Golden' safe around pets and children?
    A: Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat Pothos 'Golden', and the sap can cause skin or paw irritation on contact, so a high shelf is the ideal spot. It's also best placed away from small children who might handle the foliage.

    Q: How fast does Pothos 'Golden' grow, and can I propagate it?
    A: Pothos 'Golden' is one of the fastest growing trailing vines you can keep indoors, often putting out several new leaves a month in good conditions. Propagation is simple: snip a stem just below a node and place it in water until roots form, then pot it up.

    Q: Can Pothos 'Golden' survive while I'm on vacation?
    A: Yes, Pothos 'Golden' is remarkably self-sufficient and can comfortably survive a 10-day trip without being watered, as long as it was well-watered before you left.

    Q: Does Pothos 'Golden' purify indoor air?
    A: Pothos 'Golden' is a well-known air purifying plant that filters formaldehyde and other common indoor toxins from the air. It's a practical and attractive choice for living spaces, home offices, and anywhere you want cleaner air alongside great-looking foliage.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
