Botanical Name: Epipremnum aureum 'Golden'

Common Name(s): Golden Pothos, Devil’s Ivy

Pothos Golden, commonly known as Devil's Ivy, is one of the most popular and easy-to-care-for houseplants. This variety is renowned for its heart-shaped leaves that are a vibrant mix of deep green and bright golden-yellow variegation. Golden Pothos is a fast-growing vine that can trail up to 10 feet long, making it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a climber on a trellis. Its attractive foliage and resilience to varying conditions make it an ideal plant for both beginners and experienced plant owners.

Golden Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low light conditions, though its variegation will fade in darker areas. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it’s important to ensure the soil dries between waterings. Golden Pothos is adaptable to average room temperatures and humidity, making it well-suited for most indoor environments.

Air Purifying Qualities:

• Toxin Removal: Golden Pothos is highly effective at removing common indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, helping to improve the air quality in your home.
• Oxygen Production: Like other Pothos varieties, it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, promoting a fresher and more breathable indoor atmosphere.
• Humidity Regulation: Golden Pothos also helps to increase indoor humidity slightly through transpiration, which can be especially beneficial in dry indoor environments.

Note: Golden Pothos, also known as Devil’s Ivy, is toxic to pets (cats and dogs) if ingested, causing symptoms such as vomiting, drooling, and oral irritation. Keep this plant out of reach of curious pets to avoid health issues.
