• Golden Pothos, or Epipremnum aureum, is among the most popular houseplants. This plant is so low-maintenance that it is also called Devil's ivy, indicating that it is almost impossible to kill.
  
  Golden Pothos has beautiful pointed, heart-shaped green leaves with creamy white and yellow variegation. Native to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, this plant has trailing vines that look stunning in tall planters and hanging baskets.
  
  Golden Pothos is very effective in air purifying. It eliminates odors, formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide in the air. The Golden Pothos is a Feng Shui plant that represents the wood element and promotes balance and growth. Placing it in the East direction of your space can enhance prosperity and harmony.
   
• Golden Pothos prefers bright, indirect sunlight, but it also tolerates medium-light conditions. Too little light, however, can slow down its growth and makes it leggy. Low-light conditions also make this plant lose its variegation. Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent scorching leaves.
  
  Golden Pothos does not like wet, water-logged soil, so drain well after each watering. Check the soil twice per week and only water when the top 1" of the soil is dry to the touch. Water more in brighter light conditions and water less when the plant is placed in a low-light spot.
  
  The best soil for this plant is well-drained, porous potting soil. A mixture of houseplant potting soil with peat moss, vermiculite, or perlite is ideal for this plant.
  
  This plant grows best in normal room temperatures (between 65°F-85°F). This plant does not grow well when the temperature drops below 50°F. Pothos thrives in normal indoor humidity, and it is recommended that you mist your plant and use a humidifier when the environment is too dry (humidity level falls below 50%).
  
  This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.
