Pothos

Epipremnum aureum
  • Origin: Tropical Asia and the Solomon Islands — almost indestructible trailing champs for whimsical shelf decorators.
  • Where I thrive: Bright, indirect to low light; tolerates a range of indoor conditions.
  • Hydrate: Water when the top inch of soil is dry, roughly every 7–14 days depending on light and temperature.
  • Other care instructions: Prune to control size and encourage bushiness; tolerates neglect and benefits from occasional feeding.
