Golden Pothos Pole

Description

Key Features:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
