The Pothos is native to Southeast Asia. It has the reputation of being one of the easiest plants to take care of. The golden Pothos is known for its heart-shaped green leaves with variegation in yellow.
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, but can tolerate medium to low indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun.
Water: Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
Humidity: Don’t sweat it. Any humidity level will do.
Temperature: Most houseplants prefer temps in the 65°F-85°F range (18°C-30°C). It’s best not to let it go below 60°F (15°C).
Fertilizer: Because it is a quick-growing vine, it will grow faster and with more lush foliage if it is fed on a regular basis. Look for a standard 20-20-20 NPK fertilizer ratio.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting. Mix in ingredients such as perlite or lava rocks to increase soil aeration as need.
Common Problems: The Pothos is an easy-going plant and is generally pest-free. Treat pests as soon as they appear with weekly sprays of a natural pesticide like neem oil and regular wipe-downs of the plant.
Symptom: Wilting plant, dry potting mix
Cause: Thirsty plant, underwatered
Symptom: Yellowing leaves, black stems
Cause: Overwatered
Precautions: Pothos can be irritating to cats, dogs, and humans if foliage consumed. Best practice is always to keep houseplants out of reach of small children and pets.
Toxicity: Toxic to both dogs and cats and can cause mouth and tongue irritation. Your pet may have vomiting, excessive salivation, and difficulty swallowing.
