Pothos Golden – 4″ Pot – NURSERY POT ONLY

This Air purifying plant is arguably one of the easiest plants to grow indoors. The pothos grows in a vine like fashion making it a great plant to have in a hanging display to fill up any empty space on a shelf or desktop. Place where the vines can fall freely or trail along a shelf for the best effect. Looks great grown in containers and hanging baskets. A terrific plant for tall plant stands where the trailing foliage will create a cascade of foliage over time.

• Botanical Name: Epipremnum Aureum

• Common Names: Devil’s Ivy

Here are some care tips to help you keep your Pothos Golden healthy and vibrant:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for your Pothos Golden to maintain its variegation and promote healthy growth. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, brighter light will enhance its coloration. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering: Allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out between waterings. Pothos Golden prefers slightly moist soil but is tolerant of occasional drying out. Water thoroughly when the soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
3. Soil: Plant your Pothos Golden in well-draining potting mix. A mix containing peat moss, perlite, and/or coarse sand works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the roots.
4. Temperature: Pothos Golden thrives in typical indoor temperatures ranging from 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
5. Humidity: While Pothos Golden can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, it appreciates slightly higher humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby, especially during dry winter months.
6. Fertilization: Feed your Pothos Golden with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter or if the plant is not actively growing.
7. Pruning: Regularly prune your Pothos Golden to promote bushy growth and maintain its shape. Trim leggy stems and remove any yellow or dead leaves. You can propagate the cuttings to create new plants.
8. Propagation: Pothos Golden is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem below a node (where a leaf attaches to the stem) and place it in water or moist potting soil until roots develop.
9. Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. If pests are present, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or treat the plant with insecticidal soap.
10. Potting and Repotting: Repot your Pothos Golden when it outgrows its current pot or becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes and fresh potting mix.

With proper care, your Pothos Golden will continue to dazzle with its bright, golden foliage, adding beauty and charm to your indoor space!
