4″ Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

Here are some care instructions for Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), a popular and easy-to-grow houseplant:

1. Lighting: Golden Pothos can thrive in a variety of light conditions, but they prefer bright, indirect light. They can also tolerate low light, but their growth may slow down. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch their leaves.

2. Watering: Water your Golden Pothos when the top inch or so of the soil feels dry to the touch. They are fairly tolerant of occasional underwatering, but overwatering can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.

3. Temperature and Humidity: They do well in average room temperatures ranging from 65-85°F (18-29°C). They are adaptable to normal household humidity levels, but they appreciate a bit of extra humidity if possible.

4. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn’t become waterlogged. A mix formulated for indoor plants or a blend of peat, perlite, and bark works well.

5. Fertilizing: Feed your Golden Pothos with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding or stop altogether during fall and winter when growth slows down.

6. Pruning and Maintenance: Trim back overgrown vines to maintain a bushier appearance. You can propagate cuttings in water or directly in soil.

7. Pests: Golden Pothos are relatively resistant to pests, but occasionally they can attract mealybugs or spider mites. Wipe down leaves regularly to prevent dust buildup and inspect for pests.

8. Propagation: Propagate Golden Pothos easily from stem cuttings. Cut a healthy vine just below a node (where the leaf meets the stem) and place it in water or directly into moist soil.

Following these care tips should help you keep your Golden Pothos healthy and thriving indoors.
