Pothos 'Golden' is a beloved trailing vine in the Epipremnum genus, native to the Solomon Islands where it scrambles through tropical forest floors and climbs towering trees. One of the most popular easy care houseplants in the world, it has earned a loyal following from beginners and collectors alike for its near-indestructible nature and cheerful, cascading growth.
Pothos 'Golden' is instantly recognizable by its heart-shaped leaves splashed with golden-yellow variegation across a rich emerald green base. The waxy, glossy foliage grows on long, flexible vines that trail beautifully from shelves and hanging baskets, and the more light this fast growing plant receives, the bolder and more vivid those golden streaks become.
Pothos 'Golden' rarely flowers indoors, so its real star power comes from its foliage and its genuinely impressive air purifying ability. Studies have shown it filters formaldehyde and other indoor toxins, making it a hardworking addition to any room, not just a pretty face.
Pothos 'Golden' thrives in kitchens where ambient moisture keeps it lush, and its trailing vines look stunning when given a hanging hook or allowed to drape from a high shelf. It can head outdoors for summer in a sheltered spot, though it needs cover from rain and should come back inside before temperatures drop. This low light tolerant, air purifying plant is a perennial favorite as an indoor plant gift, and it earns its place in any collection by being genuinely beautiful and genuinely forgiving.

Pothos 'Golden' grows happily in low, medium, or bright indirect light, even thriving under standard office LEDs, but scorches in direct south-facing sun.
Water Pothos 'Golden' every 1-2 weeks, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out completely; it will wilt slightly to let you know when it's thirsty.
Pothos 'Golden' prefers a well-draining potting mix, ideally a blend of standard potting soil with added perlite to prevent soggy roots.
Pothos 'Golden' is happiest between 65-85°F (18-29°C) and should be kept away from cold drafts, AC vents, and heater airflow that can stress the foliage.

Pothos 'Golden' is a fast growing plant; feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to keep those vines charging.
Pothos 'Golden' is rated for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12, tolerating temperatures no lower than about 30-35°F (around 0-2°C) before foliage suffers. Outdoors year-round, Pothos 'Golden' thrives in warm coastal and southern states including Hawaii, Florida, southern California, southern Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana. Gardeners in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and along the sheltered coasts of Oregon and Washington can also enjoy it outside through milder seasons with some protection.
