Golden Pothos

Care guide

Golden pothos adapts to almost any room. It survives in low light but shows its best golden variegation in bright, indirect light. Water when the top half of the soil is dry. Drooping leaves are a clear sign the plant is thirsty, and it perks up within hours of a good drink. Yellow leaves usually mean the soil stayed wet for too long. Let the vines trail from a shelf or hanging basket, or train them up a moss pole for bigger leaves. Trim long vines in spring to keep the plant full and bushy. The cuttings root easily in a glass of water, so you can grow new plants for free. Feed every four to six weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them shiny and healthy.
