About Pothos 'Golden'

Pothos Golden Care Guide

The Pothos 'Golden' is a stunning, versatile indoor plant known for its heart-shaped leaves splashed with vibrant green and golden-yellow variegation. This easy-care plant is perfect for both beginner and seasoned plant enthusiasts, making it a popular choice for homes and offices alike.

Lighting

Pothos 'Golden' thrives in bright, indirect light but is highly adaptable and can tolerate lower light conditions. However, for the most vibrant leaf coloration, place it in a spot with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.

Watering

Water your Pothos 'Golden' when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. It prefers slightly dry conditions between waterings, so be mindful not to overwater. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot, as this plant is sensitive to waterlogged soil.

Temperature and Humidity

Pothos 'Golden' thrives in typical indoor temperatures between 65Ā°F and 85Ā°F. It can handle average household humidity but will benefit from increased moisture, especially in drier environments. If possible, place it in a humid spot like the bathroom or use a humidifier to keep the foliage lush.

Feeding

Feed your Pothos 'Golden' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during fall and winter when the plantā€™s growth naturally slows. Regular feeding helps promote vigorous growth and maintains its striking variegation.
