What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Golden Pothos for its exceptional quality and substantial size. Reviewers frequently note the plant arrives much fuller and more robust than expected, instantly becoming an attractive focal point due to its vibrant variegation. Its inherent hardiness and low maintenance appeal strongly to both new and experienced plant owners. The convenience of the pre-potted basket setup allows for immediate enjoyment. While most shipping is secure, some customers report minor issues like soil displacement or temporary stress upon arrival. Despite these logistical hiccups, the overall consensus confirms the plant's excellent health and impressive scale deliver outstanding value, making it a highly recommended purchase for resilient indoor greenery.
Know before you buy
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. While it is quite adaptable and can tolerate lower light conditions, it will grow faster and maintain its vibrant yellow variegation best when placed near a window with filtered sunlight.
No, the Golden Pothos is toxic to both humans and pets if ingested. Because it is a trailing plant, it is best kept in a hanging basket or on a high shelf where curious pets cannot reach the leaves.
The plant arrives in a standard 8-inch hanging pot. We recommend checking the bottom for drainage holes and placing a saucer underneath or removing the plant to water it in a sink to prevent water from pooling at the roots.
The Golden Pothos is a fast-growing vining plant. With proper care and consistent light, you can expect the vines to trail significantly, making it an excellent choice for filling vertical space in your home.
The companion app is designed to help you stay on track with your plant's specific needs. It provides customized care tips, watering reminders, and troubleshooting advice to ensure your Pothos stays healthy as it matures.
Only if you live in USDA hardiness zones 10 or 11, where temperatures remain consistently warm. In most other climates, this plant should be kept indoors, as it thrives best in temperatures between 70-90°F.
