The Golden Pothos, also known as Epipremnum aureum, is a popular and resilient vining plant prized for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves with striking golden-yellow marbling. This low-maintenance, fast-growing plant thrives in a variety of conditions, making it an excellent choice for bioactive setups, where it will complement the natural ecosystem of your terrarium, vivarium, or paludarium.

Care Instructions

LIGHT. Prefers bright, indirect light but is highly adaptable and can tolerate lower light levels. However, the golden variegation will be more pronounced in brighter light. In bioactive setups, place your Golden Pothos near a light source but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

SOIL. A well-draining, loose soil mix is ideal. A blend of coconut coir, perlite, and orchid bark works well for this plant, mimicking its natural tropical environment and providing good aeration. In bioactive enclosures, this type of soil will not only keep your plant happy but also create a thriving habitat for decomposers like isopods and springtails, which help break down organic matter.

WATERING. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1-2 inches to dry out between waterings. In bioactive setups, the decomposers like isopods and springtails will help maintain balance by breaking down excess organic material, so you don’t need to worry about over-watering. Be mindful not to let it stay too wet for long periods.

HUMIDITY. Thrives in high humidity, making it a great fit for bioactive tanks. Aim to keep humidity levels above 60% for optimal growth. The naturally humid environment in bioactive setups is perfect for this plant.

TEMPS. Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid placing it in drafty areas or near cold windows to prevent stress. A steady, warm environment will keep it growing vigorously.

FERTILIZATION. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. In winter, reduce feeding as the plant’s growth slows. For a nutrient-pumped soil that supports lush growth, try using Mealworm Frass — a natural, organic fertilizer produced by mealworm colonies fed on diverse vegetation.

Cohabitation with Bioactive Organisms

ISOPODS. Isopods are excellent partners for Golden Pothos. They help maintain a healthy substrate by breaking down plant debris and uneaten food, keeping the soil nutrient-rich without becoming too compact. The decaying leaves and organic matter from the plant will feed the isopods, creating a natural, balanced cycle.

SPRINGTAILS. These tiny arthropods are great at managing mold, fungi, and decaying organic matter. Springtails thrive in the humid, moist environment that Golden Pothos loves, keeping the soil clean and healthy. Their constant work in the soil ensures that the plant’s roots remain healthy and free from mold.

Soil and Maintenance Tips

SUBSTRATE. A well-draining, nutrient-rich substrate is key. A mixture of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite provides optimal root health while also supporting decomposers like springtails and isopods. A thin layer of activated charcoal at the bottom of the tank can also help with filtration and odor control.

HUMIDITY CONTROL. In a bioactive environment, a shallow water dish or light misting can increase humidity levels. Golden Pothos will thrive in moist conditions, and the presence of springtails will help maintain the moisture balance in the substrate.

TRIMMING. Golden Pothos grows rapidly, so trimming the vines occasionally helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth. You can easily propagate the cuttings in water or soil, making this plant a fantastic option for expanding your collection.

PEST CONTROL. Golden Pothos is naturally pest-resistant. However, in a bioactive setup, springtails and isopods will help control any small pests like mealybugs or aphids by feeding on their eggs or larvae, keeping your plant healthy and pest-free.


With its vibrant, gold-speckled leaves and ease of care, Golden Pothos is a perfect choice for bioactive setups. It thrives alongside decomposers like isopods and springtails, helping create a sustainable, nutrient-pumped environment where both your plants and the ecosystem of your vivarium or terrarium can flourish. By mimicking the plant’s natural habitat with proper humidity, light, and soil, you’ll support healthy growth and a thriving ecosystem.

Weightless, sheer, not greasy formula!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have tried an embarrassing amount of sunscreens from both high end brands sold at places like Sephora and Nordstrom to dermatologist brands to drugstore brands. This cerave sunscreen is literally perfect. For reference I am in my 30s with fair skin and combo skin. For reference I do not like the other cerave mineral sunscreens. They are extremely white. I do like the cerave ultra light daily moisturizer with spf 30 (I think it’s called) but it’s not waterproof. Here are the reasons why I love it SO much: -waterproof! (Lasts longer during a hot summer day AND I can wear it to the pool/beach with the kids. Truly a do it all sunscreen!) -wears really well under makeup -not greasy or oily -no white cast or film -cosmetically elegant -not drying and provides some moisture -didn’t cause sensitivity, acne or eye burning -i can even put it on my kids without them complaining -feels silky soft and weightless. Truly one of a kind. -cerave is a brand I trust -great mix of zinc and chemical active ingredients for effective protection -great for my combo skin -affordable, decent amount of product -convenient squeeze bottle that doesn’t leak I’m so glad I found this! The #1 reason why I love this is because I trust the protection of cerave and it wears beautifully under makeup! The only thing I can think that would make this better would be if it was a spf 50 but it’s perfect otherwise. I’ve already worn it to the pool and it preforms really well, even on a really hot day being outside for a long time! I live in south Texas. This is literally one of the only sunscreens my husband can stand wearing on his face. So it’s man approved for men who hate wearing sunscreen lol! I didn’t even realize it was labeled for face and body. Ive only been wearing it on my face, neck and chest. I need a bigger bottle for whole body application as we go swimming a lot! I purchased this sunscreen with my own money and this is NOT a paid review. I just really like it! :)

Non-greasy and doesn't damage clothing
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I looked hard for a high quality sunscreen that wouldn't turn my clothes orange and this meets my needs. It is a strong, 30 SPF, but it is not heavy or greasy. It is effective, and it does not discolor my clothing.

A must for summer!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My go-to sunscreen. It’s clean, lightweight, and doesn’t leave that white cast like a lot of mineral formulas. I have blonde extensions and this is one of the only ones I’ve found that doesn’t turn them pink, which is huge. Wears really nicely on the skin and layers well—definitely a staple for me.

Overall good basic
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was looking at mineral sunscreens because they are more natural, but I found the chalky film they leave on the skin to be undesireable. Still, I did not want a fully chemical formula. I was able to find this hybrid that also has hydrating ingredients and ceramides for the skin. It goes on light and provides great coverage. It is a little shiny/greasy however which is why I dropped a star.

Great sunscreen for travel
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried several sunblocks and this one is the one. CeraVe never disappoints. I took it with me to Cancun this past weekend and with plenty of sunshine my face and body stayed well protected. No sunburn at all. It also absorbs nicely and doesn’t leave white marks on the skin. The size is perfect for traveling with just a carry-on.
