The Epipremnum Golden Pothos, also known as Devil's Ivy or simply Pothos, is a popular houseplant prized for its easy care and beautiful foliage. This specific plant comes in a 12 cm diameter pot and can grow to be 15 cm tall.
Here's a quick guide to caring for your Golden Pothos:
Plant Care Tips:
-
Light: Golden Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow slower and lose variegation (the golden splotches on the leaves).
-
Watering: Water your Pothos when the top inch of soil dries out. Overwatering is a common killer, so ensure the pot has drainage holes and avoid letting the plant sit in water.
-
Temperature: Golden Pothos prefers room temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
-
Humidity: While it tolerates average household humidity, it enjoys increased moisture. You can mist the leaves occasionally or use a pebble tray to raise humidity around the plant.
-
Fertilizer: During spring and summer, apply a diluted balanced fertilizer monthly.
Light Level: Bright, Indirect Light
Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Additional Tips:
-
Golden Pothos is a vining plant. You can train it to climb a moss pole or let it cascade from a hanging basket.
-
To encourage bushier growth, prune leggy stems regularly. You can even propagate the cuttings in water to create new plants!
With proper care, your Epipremnum Golden Pothos will bring life and beauty to your home for years to come.
