Know before you buy
While it can grow as a trailing plant, providing a moss pole or trellis is highly recommended. Climbing support encourages the plant to develop larger, mature leaves with the signature fenestrations.
To keep the golden-yellow variegation vibrant, place the plant in bright, indirect light. Low light conditions may cause the new growth to lose its distinct color and revert to a solid green.
No, the Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Golden Flame’ is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about two inches deep into the pot. You should water the plant only when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
Yes, Plant Vault ships the exact specimen pictured in the listing, so you know exactly what the variegation and size look like before it arrives.
While it is considered an easy-care plant, it does prefer higher humidity levels typical of its tropical origin. If your home is very dry, consider placing it near a humidifier or in a well-lit bathroom to keep the foliage looking its best.
