Epipremnum aureum

Epipremnum aureum is a tropical climbing aroid with flexible vines, glossy heart-shaped leaves, and aerial roots that anchor to bark, moss poles, trellises, or other textured supports. In indoor pots it usually keeps its juvenile foliage, with green leaves marked by yellow to cream streaking, while supported mature plants can eventually produce larger, thicker leaves with a more divided outline.

This species is often called golden pothos, devil’s ivy, or simply pothos in everyday plant trade, although Pothos is also a separate botanical genus. The plant sold as Epipremnum aureum belongs in Araceae and grows naturally as a wet-tropical climber from Mo‘orea in the Society Islands, where its stems use aerial roots to move upward through humid forest structure.

Golden pothos traits at a glance

  • Evergreen aroid vine with trailing or climbing stems.
  • Glossy juvenile leaves with a broad heart-shaped base.
  • Green foliage with yellow to cream marbling and streaks.
  • Aerial roots that attach readily to moss poles, bark boards, or rough supports.
  • Node-based stems that can trail, climb, branch, or root from cuttings in indoor pots.

How this species climbs and fills a pot

Epipremnum aureum grows from nodes spaced along flexible stems. Each node can produce a leaf, an aerial root, and a new shoot, which makes the plant easy to prune, root, and train. In a hanging pot the stems cascade and create a loose curtain of foliage; on a vertical support the same plant directs growth upward and can develop larger leaves over time.

As a wet-tropical climber, Epipremnum aureum needs air as well as moisture around the roots. A loose substrate and a pot with drainage are essential. Warmth keeps growth active, while consistent bright indirect light helps leaves expand evenly and protects the glossy surface from scorch.

Care for strong vines and airy roots

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light or soft filtered light. The plant tolerates medium light, but very dim placement slows internode growth and can make vines thinner.
  • Water: Water when the upper 20–30% of the potting mix has dried. The stems recover well from slight drying, while saturated mix can weaken the fine roots.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco chips, or similar coarse material so water drains quickly and oxygen reaches the root zone.
  • Temperature: Keep between 18–28 °C for regular growth. Protect from cold windowsills, winter draughts, and temperatures below about 12–15 °C.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated. Higher humidity helps new leaves expand more smoothly, especially on climbing stems.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding in winter or under low light.
  • Support and pruning: Let vines trail, or guide them onto a moss pole for stronger upward growth. Prune above a node to encourage branching and root cuttings from healthy stem pieces.

Problems that show up on older vines

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the potting mix has stayed wet for too long. Let the mix dry further and improve drainage before watering again.
  • Brown, dry leaf edges: Look for irregular watering, strong sun, salt build-up, or dry heat near radiators. Flush the mix occasionally and move the plant away from hot air.
  • Long bare sections: Increase light gradually and prune leggy stems back to active nodes so new shoots can fill in closer to the pot.
  • Soft stems near the base: Inspect the roots and lower nodes. Soft, dark tissue usually points to overwatering, cold wet substrate, or poor aeration.
  • Sticky leaves or speckling: Check the undersides and stem joints for scale, mealybugs, thrips, or mites, then isolate and treat early.

Safety around pets and children

Epipremnum aureum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Chewed leaves or stems can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue, and digestive tract, so keep the plant away from pets and small children. Wear gloves if your skin reacts easily to aroid sap.

Botanical name background

The genus name Epipremnum comes from Greek roots meaning “upon” and “trunk,” a reference to its climbing habit. The species epithet aureum means “golden,” matching the yellow-gold variegation associated with the classic cultivated plant.

So Pretty
Color: B
A beautiful necklace for my beautiful daughter. She is 12 years old and starting to appreciate pretty jewelry rather than fun/colorful/kid’s jewelry; BUT - she’s 12!!! No real gold or fancy jewelry just yet! Gifts like this perfectly hit the mark right now. It looks beautiful, feels fun and trendy but more mature, has held up well to the wear and tear of a 12 year old, and is the perfect size for her at this time. She loves anything with her initial on it so she, of course, adores this necklace. She wears it several times a week. She has occasionally worn this necklace to bed on accident and it has not broken or gotten damaged in any way. All in all, I recommend this cute necklace as a beautiful gift!

Classy and Pretty Necklace Set
Color: C, Color: C
This is a very pretty necklace set. The chains are thin, delicate, and lightweight in a yellow gold color. I feel they are the same as what is pictured. I especially like the lettering of the small font, which makes it look classier than others I’ve seen of the same style. So far, they seem to be pretty durable to wear as they don’t feel like they’ll immediately break if they were to get snagged on a top. I have a smaller neck as I’m small myself (about 100lbs), and the chains fit me perfectly on the tightest clasps. They are adjustable. Some metals, such as nickel, cause me to have a slight skin reaction, but this did not. It included a small pink jewelry wipe, much like that of one for eyeglasses, which I’ve never seen before. It also had a sweet little blank note card in a tiny printed envelope inside the jewelry box to make it extra special should it be given as a gift. These were thoughtful details that gave it that little extra something for me. There were only two things I wish were a little different. The first is that they are two separate necklaces, and I’d like if they were connected as one, so you’d only have to clasp them on once. The second is that rather than the little wipe, I’d of personally preferred a little dust bag to store them, as many jewelry pieces include. However, I don’t think either of these takes away from their overall style or quality, so it did not make me deduct a star. Overall, I feel this is a lovely set to purchase for yourself, or to give as a gift to someone special. I definitely feel the value for your money is there for these necklaces.

Beautiful, Dainty Layered Set!
Color: S, Color: S
I am so impressed with this little necklace set! I was looking for something simple and elegant for daily wear, and this initial necklace set exceeded my expectations for the price. What I Loved: 1. The Packaging: It comes in a very cute, gift-ready box with a "Handmade with Love" message and a floral insert. It even includes a "Thank You" sticker, which is a really sweet touch if you're planning to give this as a gift. 2. The Design: You get two separate necklaces. One is a classic, sparkly water-wave chain, and the other is a dainty satellite chain (the one with the little beads) featuring a small, polished initial "S." 3. Versatility: Since they are two separate pieces, you can wear them together for that trendy layered look or just wear one at a time for something more subtle. 4. Quality: The gold tone is bright and has a high-end shine to it. The clasps feel secure, and they both have adjustable extenders so you can get the layering lengths just right. What I am concerned about: Polish: I liked the finish and quality but I am skeptical about the tarnishing on the necklace. This might loose with time. I guess the time will tell. The Verdict: If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personalized gift or just a cute new addition to your jewelry box that won't break the bank, this is it. It looks much more expensive than it actually is!

Cute and meaningful personalized necklace
Color: C, Color: C
This necklace is really sweet and delicate. I chose the letter C, and it makes the piece feel very personal and special. The layered design gives it a trendy look while still being simple and elegant. The 14K gold plating has a beautiful shine, and the necklace feels lightweight and comfortable to wear. I also like that it’s adjustable, so you can wear it as a choker or a little longer depending on the style you want. It’s a lovely little piece that works well as a gift for a child, teen, or even for yourself if you like personalized jewelry. Overall, it’s cute, meaningful, and nicely made.
