The Golden Pothos is one of the most popular and reliable houseplants worldwide, admired for its heart-shaped green leaves streaked with golden-yellow variegation. Hardy, fast-growing, and adaptable, it thrives in a wide range of conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike.
Golden Pothos can trail beautifully from hanging baskets and shelves or climb when given support, developing larger, more dramatic leaves as it matures.
