The Golden Pothos, also known as Epipremnum aureum, is a popular and resilient vining plant prized for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves with striking golden-yellow marbling. This low-maintenance, fast-growing plant thrives in a variety of conditions, making it an excellent choice for bioactive setups, where it will complement the natural ecosystem of your terrarium, vivarium, or paludarium.

Care Instructions

LIGHT. Prefers bright, indirect light but is highly adaptable and can tolerate lower light levels. However, the golden variegation will be more pronounced in brighter light. In bioactive setups, place your Golden Pothos near a light source but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

SOIL. A well-draining, loose soil mix is ideal. A blend of coconut coir, perlite, and orchid bark works well for this plant, mimicking its natural tropical environment and providing good aeration. In bioactive enclosures, this type of soil will not only keep your plant happy but also create a thriving habitat for decomposers like isopods and springtails, which help break down organic matter.

WATERING. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1-2 inches to dry out between waterings. In bioactive setups, the decomposers like isopods and springtails will help maintain balance by breaking down excess organic material, so you don’t need to worry about over-watering. Be mindful not to let it stay too wet for long periods.

HUMIDITY. Thrives in high humidity, making it a great fit for bioactive tanks. Aim to keep humidity levels above 60% for optimal growth. The naturally humid environment in bioactive setups is perfect for this plant.

TEMPS. Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid placing it in drafty areas or near cold windows to prevent stress. A steady, warm environment will keep it growing vigorously.

FERTILIZATION. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. In winter, reduce feeding as the plant’s growth slows. For a nutrient-pumped soil that supports lush growth, try using Mealworm Frass — a natural, organic fertilizer produced by mealworm colonies fed on diverse vegetation.

Cohabitation with Bioactive Organisms

ISOPODS. Isopods are excellent partners for Golden Pothos. They help maintain a healthy substrate by breaking down plant debris and uneaten food, keeping the soil nutrient-rich without becoming too compact. The decaying leaves and organic matter from the plant will feed the isopods, creating a natural, balanced cycle.

SPRINGTAILS. These tiny arthropods are great at managing mold, fungi, and decaying organic matter. Springtails thrive in the humid, moist environment that Golden Pothos loves, keeping the soil clean and healthy. Their constant work in the soil ensures that the plant’s roots remain healthy and free from mold.

Soil and Maintenance Tips

SUBSTRATE. A well-draining, nutrient-rich substrate is key. A mixture of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite provides optimal root health while also supporting decomposers like springtails and isopods. A thin layer of activated charcoal at the bottom of the tank can also help with filtration and odor control.

HUMIDITY CONTROL. In a bioactive environment, a shallow water dish or light misting can increase humidity levels. Golden Pothos will thrive in moist conditions, and the presence of springtails will help maintain the moisture balance in the substrate.

TRIMMING. Golden Pothos grows rapidly, so trimming the vines occasionally helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth. You can easily propagate the cuttings in water or soil, making this plant a fantastic option for expanding your collection.

PEST CONTROL. Golden Pothos is naturally pest-resistant. However, in a bioactive setup, springtails and isopods will help control any small pests like mealybugs or aphids by feeding on their eggs or larvae, keeping your plant healthy and pest-free.


With its vibrant, gold-speckled leaves and ease of care, Golden Pothos is a perfect choice for bioactive setups. It thrives alongside decomposers like isopods and springtails, helping create a sustainable, nutrient-pumped environment where both your plants and the ecosystem of your vivarium or terrarium can flourish. By mimicking the plant’s natural habitat with proper humidity, light, and soil, you’ll support healthy growth and a thriving ecosystem.

Favorite Slippers Of All Time
Size: 6.5-7.5, Color: Charcoal Faux Fur
ETA 7/2024: So I ended up buying a size 5-6. They fit better around the top and sides of my foot but the sole is a bit small. The 6.5-7.5 sole fits better but the material around the top and sides is roomy so it bunches up. Sigh. I still love these slippers but the fit is frustrating. I'm obsessed with these slipper boots! They are so cute and comfy. They look especially good with leggings but I also like that I can tuck other types of pajama pants into them. I'm short and have to fold the waist of most pajama pants so they're not super long on me, but with these boot slippers on I don't have to worry about my pant bottoms dragging on the floor since I can just tuck them in. I like that they have rubber soles. I love the look of the faux fur but not sure how easy they will be to wash because of it. I wear a 7 or 7.5 and I got the 6.5-7.5 size. Even with thick socks on they are roomy. Because they are house shoes it doesn't matter much but I probably could've sized down. I like the way they look so much I might buy a size down and use that pair for wearing outside of my house. Some other reviews said they have a strong smell but mine did not.

Cozy warm, overall a good slipper!
I ordered a size Medium and I normally wear a women's size 8 US / 39 EUR and they fit well. According to the box, a Medium in Acorn sizing is Women's 6.5 - 7.5, but I do think these run a little large which is why I went with the Medium vs. Large. The boot part fits well, not too snug or too loose, and it stays up if it has something to adhere to (like over pants), otherwise it would slide down my bare leg. I am super sensitive to scratchiness lol, so I keep the boot part over pants because it is a little scratchy to me. These slippers are nice and cozy, so they keep my feet / ankles warm. The footbed provides a nice cushion and the soles/suede guards are strong but without making you feel like you are wearing actual shoes / boots. I have noticed that the footbed does not have a lot of rebound so there are definitely impressions of my toes inside... which means no one else will want to wear them... haha! I've also noticed the seams seem prominent on the inside, I wish they were a less noticeable, but that is just one of my hangups. So, the only reason I am giving a 4 instead of 5 is the inside is not as soft as I'd like and the seam problem. Regardless, I wear these all the time at home (which is where most of us all are right now) and I am happy with them overall. Oh, and I got the Buffalo Check pattern and it's super cute and fun!

Soft, Warm and Cozy
I have no idea how these stay up, probably magic. I'm tall so it's challenging to find boot style slippers that are long enough. If support or thick soles aren't an issue, these are the best I've ever found! My ankles and calves have never BEEN so warm; these are my go-to's in the evening. They're easier to walk in with socks but, without, they're floppy and loose. I'd hesitate to size down because it's more the lack of structure in the foot, not length. They wash well (air dry); still soft, warm and cozy. Inserts could probably be added to help with support. I tried them because I found them at a fantastic sale price but I'm buying another pair now, for winter. I'm a slipper person and I definitely notice the quality of materials in Acorns, when I compare them with other slippers.

My year round footwear
Size: 6.5-7.5, Color: Sunset Cable Knit
I literally LIVE in these "slippers". Inside, summer, winter, outside when I can. I have hardwood floors, so even summertime, they protect my feet. They give me enough cush, but not like structured slippers that feel more like shoes. I go through about 2-3 a year, but well worth it.

Weird sizing
Size: 5-6, Color: Charcoal
Weird sizing/ fit! It says that they run large in length, so I got one group-size down (5-6). (The sizes are in ranges rather than specific individual shoe size numbers). I liked the concept of the suede reinforced toe & heel for longevity. My heel and toes cleared the length/width comfortably/well and the overall width was more than adequate, yet I found them to be rigid-stiff- tight (to the point of cutting off circulation) specifically in the toe. Ok, I knew that was a possibility BUT……while the toe area was tight the ankle and calf were HUGE and would not stay up unless I wore over pants, defeating the purpose of a slipper-sock. The inside cushioning was soft and comfortable. When I walked, my heel would slip out over the sued area, into the wool sock parentheses, making it awkward to walk. Returning…No point in changing sixes, as if I get a larger foot size, the tow may fit better, but the ankle will be beyond too big. Sigh. Unfortunate, as the concept is sound….the manufacturing/sizing is bizarre. BTW : I have normal width feet (not wide or narrow) and my ankles and calves are on the thinner side. The fit may be better suited to people with wider ankles/calves????
