About The Golden Pothos Totem

The Golden Pothos Totem takes a classic, easy-care favorite to new heights—literally! This lush climbing plant is trained to grow upward on a sturdy coco coir pole, encouraging larger, more mature leaves to form over time. As it climbs, it not only saves space but also creates a bold, vertical statement—perfect for corners, entryways, or anywhere you want to add natural height.

Care Guide

Watering Requirements

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Sunlight Requirements

Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium to low indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun.

Humidity Requirements

Normal room humidity will do, but Pothos will feel more at home under higher humidity conditions if possible, preferably between 40-60%. Consider incorporating a humidifier to boost humidity levels more consistently if the air in the home is dry.

Pet-Friendly Plant?

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! The Pothos are widely considered one of the best low-light houseplants in the world. Variegated varieties like the Marble Queen do need more light though to feed themselves due to the lack of chlorophyll. Because the Jade Pothos is solid green, it can photosynthesize effectively in dimly lit rooms, offices with fluorescent lighting, or bathrooms.

Can Golden Pothos grow in low light?

Pothos can be irritating to cats, dogs, and humans if foliage is consumed. We advise keeping houseplants out of reach of small children and pets.

Are Pothos toxic to cats?

Pothos can be irritating to cats, dogs, and humans if foliage is consumed. We advise keeping houseplants out of reach of small children and pets.

To rejuvenate a pothos that is bare at the soil, try the layering method! Gently lay one of the longer, healthy vines onto the soil surface, securing it with floral pins or paper clips so the nodes (where
leaves and aerial roots form) make contact with the soil. In a few weeks, the nodes will develop roots, creating new growth at the base. If you don't have a long vine to layer with, you can always propagate stem cuttings from your plant to root and plant at the soil surface!

My Pothos is bare at the base, how do I fix it?

By nature, pothos plants are climbers and trailers that grow in long, singular vines. If left completely unpruned, the top of the pot can begin to look sparse and leggy. Regularly pruning the trailing ends of your vines just below a leaf node during the spring or summer months can help force the plant to branch out just below the cut.

How do you make a Pothos fuller and bushier?
