Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your golden pothos live plant is straightforward, reinforcing its reputation as an easy care houseplant. It thrives in a variety of conditions, making it adaptable to most indoor environments. For optimal growth and vibrant variegation, aim for bright, indirect light. While it tolerates low light, the golden patterns on the leaves may become less pronounced. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage. Place it near a north or east-facing window, or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window with sheer curtains.

When it comes to watering, the Golden Pothos prefers its soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Typically, water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch, which might be every 7-10 days depending on your home’s humidity and light levels. Overwatering is the most common mistake with this plant, leading to yellowing leaves. Ensure your 10-inch hanging basket has good drainage to prevent root rot. Average household humidity (30-60%) is perfectly fine for this plant, though it appreciates occasional misting. Maintain indoor temperatures between 60-85°F (15-30°C) and protect it from cold drafts. Fertilize monthly during the spring and summer growing seasons with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter. This resilient devils ivy plant is generally pest-resistant, but occasionally check for common houseplant pests like spider mites or mealybugs.
