Know before you buy
This plant is highly adaptable and will grow in everything from low light to bright, indirect sunlight. While it can survive in darker corners, it will maintain its vibrant yellow variegation best when placed in brighter, indirect light.
No, the Golden Pothos is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation or discomfort if ingested by pets, so it is best kept in a location out of reach.
Because this plant is not drought-tolerant, you should keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Yes, the Golden Pothos is a natural climber. You can easily train its vines to grow upward by securing them to a trellis, moss pole, or wall hooks as they grow.
This is a fast-growing variety that can add 12 to 18 inches of new growth every month during the growing season. With proper care, you will see it fill out a hanging basket or climb a support structure quite rapidly.
