Golden Pothos Care

Golden Pothos is the ultimate beginner plant - nearly indestructible and tolerant of various conditions. Its heart-shaped, variegated leaves trail beautifully from hanging baskets or shelves. ## Basic Care **Light:** Thrives in low to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun which can fade variegation. **Water:** Very forgiving with watering. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. **Growth:** Can trail several feet long or be trained to climb a support. **Propagation:** Incredibly easy to propagate in water - perfect for sharing with friends! ## Why Pothos is Perfect for Beginners - Tolerates low light and irregular watering - Quickly recovers from care mistakes - Shows clear signs when it needs water (leaves droop slightly) - Fast-growing and rewarding to care for - Excellent air purifier ## Common Issues **Leggy growth** happens in too-low light. Trim back long vines and move to a brighter spot for fuller growth. **Yellow leaves** are usually from overwatering. Allow soil to dry more between waterings. **Loss of variegation** occurs in very low light. The plant produces solid green leaves to maximize photosynthesis.
