🌿 Green and yellow marbled foliage • ☀️ Indirect to partial shade light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌱 Very easy • 🪝 Hanging size available
Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, Epipremnum aureum — commonly called Golden Pothos or Scindapsus — is one of the most widespread and easiest indoor climbing plants to grow worldwide. Its bright green heart-shaped leaves marbled with cream yellow naturally climb the canopy trees, explaining its remarkable tolerance to partial shade and low care needs. It is available in 5 sizes, including a hanging pot version, among our indoor climbing and trailing plants and our easy-care plants.
Which Pothos variety to choose?
The Epipremnum genus includes several varieties with very different foliage — here’s how Golden Pothos compares among them:
- Epipremnum aureum — Golden Pothos (this plant) — bright green heart-shaped leaves marbled with cream yellow, climbing or trailing habit, 5 sizes including a hanging pot. The most classic and generous version.
- Epipremnum 'Marble Queen' — oval leaves variegated cream white and green, trailing habit. The brightest and most contrasting version.
- Epipremnum 'N'Joy' — compact leaves variegated with pure white and dark green in well-defined areas, more compact habit. The most graphic bicolor version.
- Epipremnum 'Happy Leaf' — leaves splashed with irregular yellow on a green background, trailing habit. The most colorful version.
- Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue' — silvery blue-green lance-shaped leaves, climbing or trailing habit. The rarest and most original version.
- Scindapsus pictus 'Trebie' — dark green oval leaves speckled with matte silver, trailing habit. The velvety silver version.
Light & placement
- Light: bright indirect light to partial shade — tolerates low light spaces better than most climbing plants, but growth will be faster and variegation more intense with good light.
- Ideal: living room, office, bright bathroom, high shelf, or hanging near an East or West-facing window.
- Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, without sudden changes.
- Soil: light, airy, and well-drained — potting soil for green plants mixed with perlite.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the top 2 to 3 cm of soil dry out between waterings. Epipremnum aureum is one of the most tolerant plants for missed waterings — mastering watering remains the key to dense and vigorous foliage.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: essential — pot with drainage hole and saucer.
- Humidity: adapts to dry to medium atmosphere — tolerates dry air well.
- Fertilizer: every 2 to 3 weeks in spring-summer, diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Support: stake on a moss pole to encourage climbing growth and larger leaf development, or let it hang freely from a shelf.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
- On a stake: guided on a coconut fiber stake as in the photo, its leaves grow and thicken into a very structured plant column — pair it with a Monstera Deliciosa for a large tropical arrangement.
- Hanging: the Ø15 cm size in a hanging pot is ready to hang upon receipt — its trailing stems create a very generous green and yellow plant curtain, ideal near a window.
- Ideal pot: a natural Selin basket for medium sizes or a Brussels anthracite for large sizes — the natural and dark tones contrast perfectly with the bright green and creamy yellow foliage.
Verdeia tips
- Propagate it for free: cut a stem with at least one node and place it in a glass of water — propagating plants by cuttings is especially easy with this species, which roots in 1 to 2 weeks.
- Rotate the pot every two weeks: Epipremnum turns its leaves toward the light — regular rotation ensures a balanced and even shape, especially for large sizes on a stake.
- Clean its leaves regularly: dust dulls the bright green foliage and reduces photosynthesis — wiping with a damp cloth every 3 to 4 weeks is enough to keep them vibrant.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
