Epipremnum aureum (Pothos)

Shop Epipremnum aureum (Pothos) at Ed’s Plant Shop

If you want a plant that looks great on day one and only gets better, Epipremnum aureum—better known as Pothos or Devil’s Ivy—is the move. These forgiving trailers and climbers handle busy schedules, less-than-perfect windows, and still deliver that lush, tropical vibe.

Why Pothos Belongs in Your Space

Pothos is adaptable by design. Hang it high and let the vines spill, or train it upward using a climbing support like a coir pole or trellis for larger, mature leaves. It thrives in low to bright, indirect light, bounces back from the occasional missed watering, and rewards you with steady, healthy growth. Pair yours with one of our decorative planters for a polished look.

Standout Varieties We Love

• Golden Pothos: Classic green leaves brushed with gold; fast-growing and perfect for brightening workspaces or living rooms.
• Marble Queen: Cream-and-green marbling for a crisp, modern aesthetic that suits minimalist decor.
• Cebu Blue: A collector favorite with silvery-blue foliage that shimmers under natural or grow lights.
• Neon Pothos: Vivid chartreuse leaves that instantly lift the energy of any corner.
• Lizard Queen: Elongated leaves with intricate variegation—a striking accent for modern interiors.

Care, the Real-World Way

• Light: Low to medium-bright, indirect light. If variegation fades, move it closer to the window or add a grow light for balance.
• Water: Allow the top 1–2" of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then drain well—no soggy roots.
• Humidity & Temperature: Comfortable in standard home humidity; ideal range is 60–85°F.
• Pruning & Propagation: Trim leggy vines to encourage fuller growth. Propagate easily from stem cuttings in water or soil for instant new plants.

Pro tip: For fuller growth and larger leaves, provide your Pothos with a vertical aid—such as a plant totem or coir pole—and bright indirect light. This mimics its natural climbing habit.

Common Problems & Quick Fixes

• Yellowing Leaves: Often a sign of overwatering. Let soil dry more thoroughly and ensure proper drainage holes in your planter.
• Fading Variegation: Move your plant to a brighter spot or supplement with a grow light to restore color contrast.
• Leggy Growth: Lack of light or pruning. Pinch stems above a node to encourage bushier vines.
• Brown Leaf Tips: Usually low humidity or water quality. Mist occasionally or use filtered water to keep foliage lush.
