🔥🌞 Golden Pothos / Epipremnum aureum (ep-ih-PREM-num AW-ree-um) 🌞🔥
Also known as: Golden Pothos, Devil’s Ivy, Ceylon Creeper, Hunter’s Robe
One of the most iconic houseplants, Golden Pothos sports glossy, heart-shaped leaves splashed with golden-yellow variegation. It’s loved for being nearly indestructible, fast-growing, and able to thrive in conditions that challenge most plants. This is the plant that happily trails from shelves or climbs with vigor, creating a true jungle vibe indoors.
💡 Care Tips:
☀️ Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light. Too little light reduces variegation, while too much direct sun can scorch leaves.
💧 Water – Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out. Tolerant of some drought but avoid overwatering, which causes root rot and yellowing leaves.
🌡️ Humidity – Adapts well to average household humidity. Prefers moderate humidity (50%+), but not as fussy as tropical relatives.
🌱 Growth – Very fast-growing vine, easily reaching several feet indoors. Can trail beautifully or climb when given a pole or trellis. Trim vines to keep bushy or propagate cuttings to share.
📊 Difficulty: Very Easy / Beginner-friendly (one of the most forgiving houseplants).
🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue, and stomach. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.
🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Native to Southeast Asia and the Solomon Islands, Golden Pothos is nearly foolproof. To maximize its golden streaks, give it brighter light — shaded corners keep it alive, but the gold fades to green.
