Golden Pothos / Devil’s Ivy
Epipremnum aureum
Reliable. Fast growing. Basically indestructible. Epipremnum aureum, better known as Golden Pothos or Devil’s Ivy, is the ultimate low maintenance trailing plant.
With its glossy green leaves splashed in golden variegation, it brings instant jungle vibes whether it’s climbing a moss pole or cascading from a shelf. It’s adaptable, forgiving, and perfect for beginners or busy plant parents.
If you want a plant that just gets on with it… this is the one.
✨ Why we love it:
🌿 Beautiful green leaves with golden marbling
🌿 Fast growing and easy to propagate
🌿 Trails, climbs, or hangs
🌿 Tolerates a wide range of conditions
💡 Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light. Brighter light enhances the golden variegation. Avoid harsh direct sun.
💧 Water: Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings. It’s far happier slightly dry than sitting soggy.
🌱 Soil: Free draining houseplant compost is perfect.
🌡️ Temperature: Loves normal indoor warmth. Keep away from cold draughts.
💦 Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity but adapts easily to most homes.
🐾 Pet/Child Safe? Toxic if ingested, so best kept out of reach of pets and little hands.
🌿 Top Tip: Want bigger leaves? Let it climb. Give it a moss pole or support and watch it level up.
Epipremnum aureum is classic for a reason. Easy, adaptable, and always looking good, it’s a true jungle staple. 🌿
