This easy-going vine needs just a weekly watering to unleash its cascading beauty. Imagine waking up each morning to lush, heart-shaped leaves with vibrant variegations climbing your bookshelf or cascading from a hanging basket, bringing a touch of the tropics to your space effortlessly.

Unfurl the beauty of the Golden Pothos, a captivating vine boasting a symphony of foliage. Each leaf emerges a glossy, emerald green, its heart-shaped form reaching a length of up to 8 inches. As the leaf matures, a stunning transformation unfolds. Vibrant streaks of sunshine yellow paint the surface, creating a captivating marble effect. This variegation can range from subtle flecks to bold splashes, making each leaf a unique masterpiece.

The texture itself is a delightful contrast - smooth and cool to the touch, with a subtle waxy sheen that adds to its sophisticated allure. Throughout spring and summer, new growth explodes in a burst of fresh, lime-green leaves, intensifying the vibrancy of the vine. As fall arrives, the existing foliage may deepen slightly in color, the yellow variegation becoming a touch more prominent.

How to Plant Golden Pothos

Choose the Right Spot

Golden Pothos thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves. Adaptable to various lighting conditions, it can tolerate lower light settings, but the growth might slow down. Well-draining soil is crucial to prevent root rot.

Measure the Space

At maturity, your Golden Pothos vine can trail up to 6-10 feet. When planting multiple Golden Pothos together in a pot, allow for enough space for their mature size.

Plant It

Carefully remove your Golden Pothos from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the plant in a pot with well-draining potting mix, ensuring the root crown sits at or slightly above the soil level. Backfill the pot, tamping gently to eliminate air pockets and secure the plant in place.

Water Thoroughly

After planting, give your new Golden Pothos a good watering until water runs out the drainage holes. This helps settle the soil around the roots.

Mulch and Care

Mulching isn’t necessary for Golden Pothos grown in pots. Water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in soggy soil.

Why Choose Golden Pothos?

Not only is the Golden Pothos aesthetically delightful, but it’s also a natural air purifier, actively removing toxins that can cloud your mind and impact your well-being. Let this low-maintenance wonder vine weave its magic into your life. Order your Golden Pothos today and discover the joy of effortless beauty and a breath of fresh air in your home.

Watering

Less is more. Water your Golden Pothos when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Soggy roots are the enemy, so err on the side of underwatering.

Sunlight

Adaptable to various light conditions, Golden Pothos prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Soil

A well-draining potting mix is crucial. Opt for a mixture specifically designed for houseplants, or create your own by combining potting soil with perlite or orchid bark for extra drainage.

Fertilizing

During spring and summer, a monthly dose of diluted liquid fertilizer will keep your Golden Pothos flourishing. Opt for a balanced fertilizer and follow the instructions on the label.

Mulching

While not strictly necessary, a light layer of moss or pebbles around the base of the plant can help retain moisture and add a decorative touch.

Pruning

Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and keeps your Golden Pothos looking its best. Simply snip off leggy stems or remove any yellowing leaves using sharp, clean shears.

Winter Care

Golden Pothos tolerates normal room temperatures well. However, avoid placing it near cold drafts or drafty windows. Reduce watering slightly during winter months as the plant goes into a slower growth phase.

When It Arrives

Your new Golden Pothos may have been watered before shipping. Check the top inch of soil - if it’s moist, wait a few days before watering. If the soil feels dry, give it a thorough watering until water runs out the drainage holes.

During the First Year

As your Golden Pothos establishes itself, water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid creating a constant puddle around the roots. Frequency may vary depending on light and pot size, so observe your plant and adjust accordingly.

After the First Year

Established Golden Pothos are more tolerant of under watering. Stick your finger into the soil - if the top two inches feel dry, it’s watering time. Less frequent watering during winter months is usually sufficient.

When It Arrives

Your new Golden Pothos doesn’t need fertilizer immediately. Our potting mix from the nursery should provide sufficient nutrients for several weeks.

During the First Year

During the active growing season (spring and summer), you can give your Golden Pothos a light feeding once a month with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Opt for a balanced fertilizer and use half the recommended strength.

After the First Year

Established Golden Pothos can benefit from monthly fertilization during spring and summer. However, you can also stretch it to every other month if you prefer. Always err on the side of under watering and avoid over fertilizing, which can damage the roots.

When to Prune

Prune your Golden Pothos whenever it gets leggy, overgrown, or has yellowing leaves. You can prune throughout the year, but spring and summer are ideal times to encourage new growth.

Steps for Pruning

Use sharp, clean shears or pruning scissors to make clean cuts. Identify areas you want to prune and cut just above a leaf node (the bump where a leaf meets the stem). This will encourage new growth to sprout from that node. For a bushier plant, pinch off the top leaves on new growth.

Extra Tips

Don’t be afraid to prune a lot. Golden Pothos is resilient and will bounce back beautifully. You can even propagate the cuttings you remove to create new Golden Pothos plants.
