Tropicals/ Golden Pothos

Common name(s): Golden Pothos, Pothos
Scientific name: Epipremnum aureum
Pronunciation: epp-pip-PREM-num AR-ee-um
Characteristics: Height: depends upon supporting structure
                               Spread: depends upon supporting structure
                               Light requirement: plant grows in the shade
                               Flower color: white
                               Leaf type and persistence: evergreen
                               Landscape use: Golden Pothos displays best leaf color when grown in bright diffuse light, such as in the shifting shade of a pine tree, but the plants seem to grow quickest in deeper shade. Moist, rich soil is recommended, although any well-drained soil is sufficient as long as plants are regularly watered during dry periods. The vining habit makes it unsuitable for planting in and around a shrub border since stems will grow up into the shrub. Frequent trimming (several times each year) is required along the edges of this groundcover to control growth.
