Golden Pothos is a fast growing and lovely variegated vine plant that can easily be the centerpiece plant in any setup!

Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a tropical plant that is native to French Polynesia. It is an epiphytic plant that will grow toward light along a variety of surfaces in vining fashion. This plant thrives in moist conditions and is ideal for the terrarium, vivarium, and paludarium. It is reportedly very useful and practical with various terrarium frogs such as tree frogs and dart frogs. It can also be used in aquariums if only the roots are put into the water and the leaves are left out of the water. 

Golden Pothos requires low to high lighting, but it will become more variegated under high lighting. It should be planted in soil that is moist, but not necessarily soggy. It will quickly fill in any available space, especially the back of the enclosure. It has a very prolific growth rate and large potential size, so it is not very suitable for small setups. 

Specialty fertilizers exist for houseplant use, but many such fertilizers can be harmful in a terrarium or paludarium. Golden Pothos is a versatile, adaptable plant and generally does not need supplemental fertilizers in terrarium, vivarium, and paludarium settings.
