Description
Key Features:
- Foliage: Golden Pothos is known for its heart-shaped leaves that are typically variegated with shades of green, yellow, and sometimes white. The leaves can grow quite large, especially on mature plants, and they have a glossy texture.
- Growth Habit: When provided with a pole or support structure, Golden Pothos can grow as a climbing or trailing plant. It produces long vines that can reach several feet in length, making it suitable for hanging baskets or trained along poles or trellises.
- Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves and cause them to lose their variegation.
- Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Golden Pothos is quite resilient to occasional underwatering but may develop root rot if overwatered.
- Temperature and Humidity: Adapts well to average room temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). It can tolerate normal indoor humidity levels but benefits from occasional misting, especially in dry indoor environments.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for indoor plants. A mix that includes perlite or coarse sand helps ensure good drainage and prevents waterlogged conditions.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in fall and winter when growth slows down.
