Know before you buy
While this plant is highly adaptable to lower light, it needs bright, indirect light to maintain its signature golden-yellow markings. In very dim corners, the leaves may revert to a solid, darker green.
You should water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It is better to let it dry out slightly between waterings than to keep the soil constantly soggy, which can lead to root rot.
The Pothos Golden is primarily a tropical houseplant. While it can thrive outdoors in warm, shaded environments during the summer, it is not frost-tolerant and must be brought inside before temperatures drop.
