About Golden Pathos
Feng shui experts say placing golden pothos in sharp corners or angles in your home can reduce anxiety and stress. 😌
A NASA/ALCA study on the use of common plants for indoor air purification also labeled golden pothos—along with Philodendron and spider plants—as the most effective in removing formaldehyde from the air. 💨

How to care for Golden Pathos
How often to water your Golden Pathos

Finding light for Golden Pothos in your home
a window
Golden Pathos can tolerate being far from a window and light source.
Place it less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Golden Pathos in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Golden Pathos
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Golden Pathos after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Afternoon Planty Peeps! 🥰 I just wanted to demonstrate the outstanding qualities of #PothosPower! 😂 Many of you will have heard the old legend about sticking a Pothos cutting in your prop jar to hasten the rooting of your other cuttings? Well, here it is demonstrated for you (in case you were in any doubt! 💚). As you can see from the photos, my E. Aureum cutting's aerial roots have only JUST started to grow (the whiter coloured tip you can just see is new growth) but JUST LOOK at the roots on my baby rescue Monstera cutting!!! (I took in this rescue from a friend when she told me it wasn't doing well, and when I checked the roots... They were all done for 😭 there wasn't a single unrotted root on her, poor baby! So, having just recently chopped my E. Aureum there was only one thing for me to do... Obviously! 🤣). These have been in the water together for just FOUR DAYS! 👀👀👀👀 Incredibly, the Monstera's new roots (which weren't even there before I put them in together!) have just taken off! Even though the Pothos/ Epipremnum has barely started to root. So, if your propping in future just think how much faster it could happen with a little #PothosPower in the mix! 😂💚🥰🌿🥰💚😂 Xxx

Good first houseplant. Can practically watch it grown. Isn’t too picky with light or watering, and works great with any decor.

this plant was given mealybugs from a neighboring plant but was one of 2 plants which were able to recover from the infestation and come back inside ! it’s pretty durable and forgiving if you forget to water it for a week or so. this plant has been great overall :))
