Pothos and more correctly Epipremnum aureum is known
from its yellow-marbled heart-shaped leaves. If it isn’t the
#1 indoor plant in North America is certainly is one of the top
ones and certainly in the Top
10 "Best Houseplants".
Pothos also goes by a few other names – devil’s ivy,
pothos ivy and has a few cultivars. The most common variety “Golden
Pothos” gets the most use in the interior business. Two other
varieties are “marble queen” with a streaky white on
green and “jade” which is green.
 You
find Pothos used as a ground cover, planted in hanging baskets,
or as a desk accent.
One of the primary reasons Pothos continues in popularity is that
it can tolerate lower light, lower humidity and cooler temperatures
than many other plants. It also functions well as a TCE
cleaner.
Pothos does not like wet feet and the soil should not stay too
moist. Every so often a Pothos could use a good pruning –
but prune selectively. This will also promote new growth.
The greatest “pests” is from mealybug.
The marbled features of Golden Pothos make it a excellent plant
for indoor use.
