Epipremnum aureum, commonly known as the Golden Pothos, Devils Ivy, or Money Plant, is one of the most iconic and resilient tropical houseplants in the world. A member of the Araceae family and native to the forests of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, this fast-growing vine is loved for its heart-shaped, glossy leaves marbled in golden-yellow and green tones.
Its cascading, trailing stems make it perfect for hanging planters, high shelves, or climbing poles. The lush, variegated foliage creates an instant tropical feel, while its incredible tolerance for low light and irregular watering makes it an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned plant collectors.
Vibrant, forgiving, and endlessly versatile, Epipremnum aureum is a timeless classic bringing colour, life, and easy-going greenery into any interior.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low-light conditions better than most houseplants. Brighter light enhances the golden variegation, while low light may cause leaves to turn more solid green. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist during the growing season (spring and summer) but never waterlogged. In winter, reduce watering frequency. Always ensure good drainage Pothos prefers slightly dry soil to overly wet conditions.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 1828 C; avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15 C.
Humidity: Moderate humidity (4070%) is ideal. It adapts well to average indoor air but benefits from occasional misting in dry environments.
Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich mix compost blended with perlite and a little orchid bark or coco coir works perfectly. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh nutrients and support vigorous growth.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause leaf tip burn or reduced variegation. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.
Trim long vines to encourage bushier growth and maintain shape. Pruned stems can easily be propagated in water or soil to create new plants. Wipe the leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their natural shine. Rotate regularly to encourage even growth and balanced variegation.
A vigorous grower, Epipremnum aureum can trail or climb up to 23 metres indoors under the right conditions. With support such as a moss pole or trellis, the leaves may grow larger and develop more pronounced variegation.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Pale leaves: Insufficient light or nutrient deficiency.
Pests: Occasionally affected by mealybugs or spider mites treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Epipremnum aureum is native to the Solomon Islands but has naturalised throughout the tropics, where it grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees and spreading across forest floors. Known for its durability and rapid growth, its one of the most popular indoor plants worldwide.
