Notes
'Golden' pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Golden') is a trailing vine for containers, shade gardens, and indoor spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to average, loamy soil. It grows fast and is nearly impossible to kill. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Keep it away from pets, since it is toxic to humans, dogs, and cats.
Pairs well with Boston fern, Gryphon begonia, and Holly fern.
