Golden Pothos is a classic starter plant for new growers. The trailing vine can be grown around a room, or the plant can be cut back regularly to root new plants. The attractive, heart-shaped leaves are mottled yellow and green and look lush with minimal effort.

Best Locations For Growing Golden Pothos

Place this plant anywhere it can be left to drape freely. The top of a bookcase or inside a hanging basket is ideal. Try to find a spot near a sunny window. Pothos are known to be air-cleaning plants and help clear indoor air of toxins from furnishings and carpets. Pothos is also known to be toxic to pets. 

Golden Pothos Sunlight Requirements

Direct bright light, medium, or low light all suit this easy-to-grow vine. The brighter light will help keep the golden markings on the leaves, while low light levels may slow growth.

Golden Pothos Care

Cuttings can be taken regularly and rooted in a glass of water. When roots form, pot the new plants in an indoor potting soil with extra perlite mixed in for drainage. Repot the whole plant when the roots grow from the bottom of the pot. Either repot the entire plant into a pot 1-2 sizes larger or divide the plant into two smaller pots. Pruning back long vining stems will spur new growth from the base of the plant, helping to keep it bushy and dense.

Watering Golden Pothos

Once a week, test the soil for dryness. Let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry between waterings. Allow the excess water to drain into the saucer and discard after 10-20 minutes. Pothos does not tolerate soggy roots.

Feeding Golden Pothos

Pothos do not require much fertilizing. Do not feed in the winter when the plants slow down growth. Any liquid houseplant fertilizer is fine. Apply it at half the recommended strength.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
