Know before you buy
No, the Golden Pothos is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a hanging location or on a high shelf that is completely inaccessible to curious animals.
This variety is quite adaptable and will do well in anything from low light to bright, indirect light. While it can survive in darker corners, you will see faster growth and more vibrant golden variegation if you place it in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight.
The best way to gauge watering is to check the soil moisture. Wait until the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch before watering again, as this plant prefers to dry out slightly between waterings rather than sitting in soggy soil.
