Know before you buy
Yes, it is one of the most adaptable houseplants available. While it will grow faster and maintain more vibrant variegation in bright, indirect light, it is perfectly capable of surviving and staying healthy in lower-light corners of your home.
The best approach is to let the top inch or two of soil dry out completely between waterings. If the leaves start to look slightly wilted, it is a clear sign the plant is ready for a drink.
You can do both. The Pothos is naturally a vining plant, so it will trail beautifully from a hanging basket or shelf, but you can also use hooks or a trellis to train the vines to climb up a wall or support.
Terra cotta is porous and allows the soil to dry out faster, which is great if you tend to overwater. Our cylinder pots are non-porous, which helps retain moisture longer and provides a sleek, modern look for your space.
No, the Golden Pothos is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a hanging basket where your pets cannot reach the trailing vines.
