Epipremnum aureum
Vining aroids (pothos, philodendron, syngonium)Mood Meter: Chill AF
Also called: Devil's Ivy, Golden Pothos
Heart-shaped waxy leaves, often variegated yellow/white; trails or climbs
Growth habit: vining. Drought tolerance: high.
very overwatering/root-rot sensitive; tolerates low light with legginess
Plant Mood Meter: Chill AF
Forgiving of missed watering and a wide range of indoor light; the main risk is keeping the roots wet too long.
Care guide
Bright indirect light. Direct sun: Gentle morning or late-day sun is usually tolerated; avoid abrupt harsh midday sun.
Water thoroughly after the upper portion of the mix has dried; let excess water drain and avoid keeping the root zone continuously wet.
Airy, well-draining houseplant mix with added bark and/or perlite; it should hold some moisture without staying dense or soggy.
Average home humidity is usually sufficient; higher humidity can support larger, cleaner growth.
Optional, but climbing a board, bark, or other textured support encourages larger mature leaves.
