The Golden Pothos (Epipremnum Aureum) is the "gold standard" when it comes to houseplants (pun intended!). They are a hardy plant, that can withstand even some of the more neglectful plant owners. is a tropical evergreen vining plant that can transform any room into one with a lush, tropical feel. Golden pothos plants are ideal if you’re looking for a plant that is easy to grow and is very low maintenance. 

The Golden Pothos is incredibly versatile like its Pothos counterparts – you can opt for a smaller table top plant, put it in a hanging basket, or alternatively give it a support pole and let it climb to its heart’s content.

How to root your Golden Pothos cutting

Pothos is one of the easiest indoor plants to propagate and you can choose to root your cutting directly in soil, water or in your choice of propagation substrate such as sphagnum moss, fern fibre, leca etc.

Water propagation is the fastest and easiest way to root your Golden Pothos cutting. Fill your glass or jar with filtered water or allow the tap water to sit out in the open for a while to let the chlorine dissipate. Submerge the lower 1-2 nodes of your pothos cutting in the water with the leaves up above. Make sure that no leaves are touching the water as this could lead to rot.

Then, place in a warm spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect light (no direct sun though) and change the water regularly until the roots are at least an inch long and your cutting is ready to be planted in soil.

Golden Pothos Plant care

Water / Humidity: This plant is very drought tolerant, so water sparingly, especially in the winter. Let the first 4-6 cm of soil dry fully between waterings. Tolerant with normal room humidity conditions.

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal, but also tolerant of lower light conditions (will grow slower).

Soil / Nutrients: Well draining soil. You can apply a few drops of general houseplant fertilizer to the soil once a month from spring to summer, reduce nutrients during autumn and winter.

Temperature: The range of 12 - 25°C is ideal.
