Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

🌱 Care Tips for 'Golden Pothos'

🌿 Light
Bright, indirect light.
Tolerates: Low light (slower growth, less variegation).
Avoid: Harsh direct sunlight—can scorch leaves.
💧 Water
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
Tip: Stay on the side of underwatering
as roots dislike sitting in soggy soil.
Signs of thirst: Drooping leaves that perk up after watering.
Signs of overwatering: Yellowing leaves, root rot smell.
🪴 Soil & Pot
Use a well-draining mix (potting soil + perlite or orchid bark).
Ensure pot has a drainage hole—pothos hate “wet feet.”
🌡 Temperature & Humidity
Around 18–29°C and normal household levels are fine; thrives with a little extra.
🌱 Fertilizer frequency
Every 4–6 weeks in spring & summer.
Type: Balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Winter: Reduce or skip feeding—growth slows.
✂️ Pruning & Propagation
Prune leggy vines to encourage bushier growth.
Cuttings root easily in water or soil—great for sharing with friends.
⚠️ Toxicity
Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested (calcium oxalate crystals).

💡 Extra tip: Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust—helps with photosynthesis and keeps your plant looking like it belongs in a magazine.
