Golden Pothos
About This Botanical
The Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), available in 4" and 6" nursery pots, is a versatile trailing houseplant. Native to the Solomon Islands, it thrives in medium to bright indirect light while easily tolerating lower light environments.
How to Care for Golden Pothos: Water thoroughly only when the top 1–2 inches of soil are completely dry to the touch, allowing excess moisture to drain freely. When repotting into a larger container, use a well-draining peat-perlite potting mix to maintain root aeration and prevent sogginess.
Identification: Unlike Marble Queen, Golden Pothos displays warm chartreuse and gold marbling across deep green heart-shaped leaves.
Pet Safety: Insoluble calcium oxalate crystals make this plant toxic to cats and dogs if chewed.
