pothos golden

Also known as: Devil's Ivy, Ceylon Creeper, Money Plant

Golden Pothos is a classic tropical houseplant known for its glossy, heart shaped green leaves splashed with golden yellow variegation. Native to French Polynesia, this easy care Pothos plant is incredibly adaptable and can stay lush even in lower light conditions. Its trailing vines look beautiful cascading from shelves, hanging baskets, and plant stands, or climbing along a support for a fuller vertical display. Golden Pothos grows best in bright indirect light but can tolerate lower light, making it a reliable choice for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and other indoor spaces.

plant tips

  • water

    Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Pothos stores moisture in its leaves and stems, making it quite forgiving of an occasional missed watering.

  • light

    Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates low-light conditions, making it versatile for different indoor settings. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

care

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil, to provide the aeration and moisture retention this plant needs. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every couple of months during the growing season, skipping winter when growth naturally slows. Trim regularly to control length and encourage fuller, bushier growth — cuttings root easily in water, making it simple to share with friends or fill out the pot even more. Propagate: Simply cut a long vine off of the plant and place the fresh cutting in a cup with a little water.
