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.

Didn’t hold up for more than a minute but the silicone strawberry by itself is durable.
Pattern Name: Strawberry, Pattern Name: Strawberry
Our best dog toy reviewer, a cattle dog mix, gave this toy a big thumbs up ONLY because she could demolish it in seconds. Not minutes, but seconds. The toy has a pouch stuffed into a silicone toy strawberry. The pouch is really stuffed in well, so much so that I couldn’t remove it, but she sure did! In about a minute all that was left was the dismembered strawberry “leaves” and a silicone strawberry which, oddly enough, she seems to enjoy. The silicone strawberry seems quite durable by itself. The toy is brightly colored and small in size. This not a durable toy unless you have a dog that is not an aggressive chewer, but for us, it is not recommended.

Good for larger treats, not small ones
Pattern Name: Carrot, Pattern Name: Carrot
Our dog loves this treat toy. It has been very durable as far as the rubber part goes but the cloth carrot insert not so much, that got torn apart pretty quickly. Also this works for bigger treats, but once the cloth carrot was destroyed, there was no way to keep small treats from just falling out. Now we use it to stick larger chew sticks in the holes and it works to help her keep it in place while chewing.

Dogs love these treat toys
Pattern Name: Strawberry, Pattern Name: Strawberry
I have big dogs who live for treats and love to play puzzle games to find treats. You can stuff these toys with small treats which gives your dog a mental challenge while working to figure out how to get them out. The quality of these toys are great but durability with big dogs will be short lived. The strawberry green top immediately was de-stuffed while dog was looking for more hidden treats. The corn husk seems to be more challenging for them to get the treats out. However my smarter dog was determined and eventually reaped the rewards. I would recommend these toys for dogs who will not rip them apart.... but really is there any pup who doesn't enjoy de-stuffing a stuffie squeek toy?

Great feeder for high energy puppy!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I have a 50lb high energy puppy. She is not a fast eater, BUT she loves this activity and it gives me about 30 minutes of uninterrupted bliss. It took about 10 minutes to demonstrate to help her get the hang of it. She will sit, spin the barrel with her paw, then sniff every divider, only open the ones with her food, and then restart the process. It is sturdy and stays on the floor as she paws and pushes. It might move a little, but not far. This is my favorite puzzle toy by far and I love that it is "hard" enough to keep her occupied but not enough that she gets frustrated and doesn't want to do it.
