Pothos Golden

The Golden pothos is native to the island of Moorea in French Polynesia. They have been through many taxonomic reclassifications over the years, complicated by the two distinct growth phases of the golden pothos, that dramatically changes their physical appearance. The Golden Pothos is an incredibly popular houseplant across the world and has become naturalised in tropical and sub-tropical forests worldwide.

Golden pothos is a climbing vine with lush green and cream speckled leaves. In the wild, they climb tree trunks with aerial roots and can also grow along the ground, with some reaching up to 70 feet in length. In the wild the leaves become much larger and change shape, looking more like a Monstera or Philodendrons.

Golden pothos thrive in warm, humid and bright conditions, although they can cope in a wide range of light conditions, including the light shade. They are relatively drought-tolerant, and it is best to water them when the top few cms of soil has dried out and less so in winter.

A 1989 study conducted by NASA rated the Golden Pothos is one of the best indoor plants for removing toxins and purifying the air inside your home.

If ingested this plant can be toxic or poisonous so keep away from dogs, cats or other pets and small children.
