Meet the Golden Pothos: Easy‑Care Variegated Indoor Vine

The Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), also called Devil’s Ivy or Money Plant, is the quintessential beginner‑friendly houseplant. Its glossy, heart‑shaped leaves feature bold golden variegation that brightens any room. Adaptable to bright or low light and nearly indestructible, Golden Pothos purifies indoor air, grows rapidly, and bounces back from occasional neglect—ideal for homes, offices, and dorms alike.

Golden Pothos Plant Profile

  • Botanical Name: Epipremnum aureum
  • Common Names: Golden Pothos, Devil’s Ivy, Money Plant, Ceylon Creeper
  • Family: Araceae
  • Origin: Tropical forests of Southeast Asia
  • Growth Habit: Fast‑growing vine; can trail or climb a moss pole

Essential Care Guide

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light for vivid variegation; tolerates low light but may revert to solid green.
  • Water: Water when the top 1–2″ of soil is dry; avoid waterlogged soil to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity: Prefers 40–60%; mist occasionally or use a pebble tray in dry environments.
  • Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); keep away from drafts below 60°F (15°C).
  • Soil & Fertilizer: Use a well‑draining indoor potting mix; feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
  • Propagation: Easily rooted via stem cuttings in water or soil within 2–4 weeks.
  • Pruning: Trim leggy vines or yellowed leaves to encourage bushier growth.
  • Pests & Toxicity: Watch for spider mites and mealybugs; toxic if ingested—keep out of reach of pets and children.

Why You’ll Love Golden Pothos

  • Air‑Purifying Power: Removes indoor pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene.
  • Low‑Maintenance: Perfect for busy lifestyles and forgetful waterers.
  • Versatile Display: Looks stunning in hanging baskets, bookshelf cascades, or climbing trellises.

Live Plants – Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

What size plant will I receive?


The size shown on the product page refers to the approximate diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height or width. Plant height, fullness, leaf size, vine length, and growth pattern naturally vary by variety and individual plant.

Will my plant look exactly like the photographs?

Each live plant is naturally unique. The plant you receive will be the variety and pot size ordered, but its shape, coloration, leaf count, fullness, and maturity may differ from the example photographs. Seasonal growth, recent pruning, and natural variation may also affect its appearance.

Is the decorative pot included?


Unless the product listing specifically states otherwise, live plants arrive in a standard nursery grow pot. Decorative planters, baskets, saucers, stands, and other accessories are sold separately. Please review the product title and description to confirm what is included.

When will my plant ship or be delivered?

Please allow approximately 5–15 business days for processing and preparation. Five business days is the earliest end of the range, and many orders require most or all of the stated processing window.

Processing time is separate from carrier transit time. Local NYC delivery also requires preparation and does not automatically mean same-day or next-day service.

Orders may occasionally require additional time because of plant availability, order volume, weather, seasonal demand, or courier coordination. We will send an update when confirmed fulfillment, tracking, or delivery information becomes available.

How are live plants packaged?

Each live plant is inspected and packed according to its size, shape, and shipping needs. Soil and foliage may be secured to reduce movement during transit, and protective materials may be added when appropriate.

Temporary drooping, shifted soil, limited leaf loss, or minor cosmetic stress can occur while a plant adjusts after shipping. This does not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.

What should I do when my plant arrives?

Unpack the plant promptly and carefully remove all protective packaging. Place it in appropriate light and allow it time to adjust to its new environment.

Check the soil before watering. Do not water automatically upon arrival because the plant may already have adequate moisture. Avoid immediately fertilizing, heavily pruning, or repeatedly moving the plant while it acclimates.

Should I repot my plant immediately?

We generally recommend allowing a newly delivered plant time to acclimate before repotting unless there is an urgent plant-health reason to do so.

Repotting an eligible small plant during the first 15 days may void the Plant Health Guarantee because it can make the cause of decline difficult to determine.

What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?

Report shipping or delivery damage within 48 hours. Keep the plant and all packaging while the concern is being reviewed.

Please provide your order number, a photograph of the entire plant, close-up photographs of the concern, and photographs of the box and packaging when applicable.

Small plants in nursery pots measuring 8 inches and below may also qualify for our 15-Day Plant Health Guarantee. Large plants in nursery pots measuring 10 inches and above have a 48-hour inspection and reporting window.

Review our Refund & Returns Policy for complete eligibility and documentation requirements.
