The Golden Pothos is an easy-care, tropical trailing vine with heart-shaped green leaves streaked with golden yellow. Native to the Solomon Islands, it’s also known as Devil’s Ivy and is prized for its resilience and versatility. Thriving in bright, indirect light but tolerant of lower levels, it’s perfect for hanging baskets or pots in bathrooms, bedrooms, offices, or sunrooms. Use well-draining soil with perlite, water thoroughly during the first year, and reduce watering in cooler months. Outdoors, it grows in USDA zones 10–12 with partial sun or shade. Prune to encourage fuller growth and fertilize as needed. Note: it’s toxic if ingested by pets or humans. A beginner-friendly plant that brings year-round tropical beauty to any space!
