Scientific Name
Epipremnum aureum (golden plant which grows on the bottom of a tree)
This plant was first described as a Pothos, and subsequently reclassified as both Rhaphidophora aurea and Scindapsus aureus before settling on the current scientific name: Epipremnum aureum.
Common Name
Golden Pothos, Money Plant, Devil's Ivy, Ivy Arum, Ceylon Creeper, Hunter's Robe
Origin
Native to the Solomon Islands
Light
Bright but indirect light is best, as this plant is not used to direct sunlight. If in a shadier location, water less frequently to stop it getting waterlogged. Keep an eye on the variegation to see that it's getting enough light; if you begin to lose variegation, your pothos will probably appreciate a brighter spot!
Water
Allow the top third of soil to dry out between waters; in a shadier location, allow about half to dry out. Keep an eye out for soggy soil in winter especially.
Humidity
Average humidity is fine; don't mist this pothos, though a hose down once a month or so will help it keep its leaves clear of dust. Make sure you don't keep it too close to a radiator which could dry it out
Soil
Use a well-draining soil with chunky bits like bark which will help it drain and get air to your roots. Repot every few years as the plant grows.
Food
Feed every four waters in spring and summer; reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Average temperatures of 18-30°C are fine; make sure it doesn't get colder than 12°C in winter.
Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.
Sprouts Top Tips
Allow this plant somewhere to grow to or something to grow up and it will deliver! It can have a spread of up to 8m in height in the right conditions. Alternatively, you can trim the ends to make entire new plants from the cuttings; just make sure there's a leaf and a node and your plant should be able to root anew!
