The Gold Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), also known as Devil’s Ivy, is one of the most popular and low-maintenance houseplants. It is prized for its vibrant, heart-shaped green leaves variegated with golden yellow streaks and its ability to thrive in various conditions. USDA Hardiness Zone • Outdoors: Best suited for zones 10–12, where temperatures remain consistently above 50°F (10°C) year-round. • Indoors: Can thrive anywhere as long as it is protected from frost and cold drafts Benefits • Air Purification: Known for filtering toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air. • Versatility: Can be grown in hanging baskets, as a climber with a moss pole, or in water. Characteristics • Appearance: Trailing or climbing vine with glossy, heart-shaped leaves. The golden variegation makes it visually appealing. • Growth: Fast-growing; can grow up to 10 feet or more indoors with proper care. • Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, as it contains calcium oxalates Care Requirements 1. Light: • Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions. • Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves. 2. Watering: • Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. • Underwatering can cause the leaves to droop but will recover quickly once watered. 3. Soil: • Well-draining potting mix works best. 4. Humidity: • Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor humidity. 5. Temperature: • Ideal range: 65°F–85°F (18°C–29°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C)
