Product description

Golden Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum) is a climbing or trailing vine belonging to the Araceae family. It is a very popular indoor plant, thanks to its heart shaped leaves which have natural splashes and variegations of green and yellow on them. Certain types of cultivation and growing environments cause these shades of green and yellow to become more vivid, this is why they are often called golden pothos. They are also commonly known as money plant in India, and devil's ivy in the West, though other names include silver vine etc. Depending on your locality or the local nursery.

Most people buy this plant for it forgiving nature. Whatever, mistakes you might have made with it in terms of care, you will see that it will still look as verdant and happy as always. This plant is very good at keeping up with rapid growth, and can trail down a hanging basket, or can be supported on a moss pole or a trellis, to form a climbing vine. No two leaves on a plant of this kind have the same variegation on them, thus, giving each plant its own distinct aesthetic character to display on your desk, or on a shelf or a window sill.

A compact 3-inch plant that comes in a 3-inch pot or as bare-rooted (option). Suitable for desk in study, kitchen table top, balcony railing or office desk. Maintain indoors in bright indirect light throughout the year, but in enclosed balcony or shaded patio in the outside. Do not place under direct afternoon sun as the leaves can burn under it. Like other broad leaf plant it is going to perform photosynthesise and respiration in a regular pace. The effectiveness in cleaning the air of any room depends on many factors like size of room, quantity of plants, ventilated state of the room etc. Therefore we cannot claim anything of that kind.

If you're considering your first indoor plant, this one is ideal to start with as it is tolerant of irregular watering and adapts to a wide variety of indoor temperatures.

Frequently asked questions

Q: The reasons for the yellowing of my Golden Money Plant's leaves are ?

A: This condition is more often than not caused by either watering too much or by being in a pot with no drainage. Be sure that the soil in the top inch is dry before you water again and that the extra water is able to drain away from the bottom of the pot rather than stand there. It's natural to lose a few yellow old leaves each year.

Q: How often should I water this plant?

A: Not always-at room temp/humidity and then it depends on room conditions Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch which should be about once a week to ten days in typical indoor conditions, more sparingly if the room is cooler.

Q: Can this plant survive with only artificial light or low light?

A: This can tolerate quite dark conditions, e.g. Office environment with mainly tube or LED lighting, although growth rate will be slow and yellow variegation on leaves might disappear so leaves are a plain green.

Q: How quickly does the Golden Money Plant grow?

A: When it is bright but not in direct sunlight and is kept warm it will grow at a moderate to fast rate and put out new leaves every couple of weeks or so. Growth can become very slow when indoors in a poor light and throughout winter.

Q: When should I repot this plant?

A: Re-pot when you see roots emerging from the bottom of the pot, or when the rootball is tightly wound, usually 12-18 months after being planted in the size container above. Move to a pot 1-2 inches wider than the current container using new, well-draining potting mix..

Q: Is this plant safe for pets?

A: This plant, Epipremnum aureum, is considered toxic if nibbled or ingested by pets and may cause the following symptoms: oral irritation, excessive drooling or vomiting. Store this plant on a high shelf or in an area your pet can't reach.
