Costa Farms Golden Pothos Live Indoor Plant — 10-inch Trailing Vine, Easy-Care Air-Purifying Houseplant

This Golden Pothos (Devil’s Ivy) from Costa Farms arrives as a healthy 10-inch plant measured pot-to-tip and is ready to drape over shelves, hang in a basket, or climb a trellis. It does best in medium, indirect light and requires modest weekly watering—about one cup—while avoiding standing water. Hardy in USDA Zones 10–12, this variety is commonly grown indoors as a resilient, beginner-friendly houseplant.

How should I water and light my Golden Pothos?

Water approximately once a week with about one cup, adjusting for your home’s humidity and temperature. Allow excess water to drain and never leave the plant sitting in saturated soil to prevent root issues.

• Light: medium, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun that can scorch leaves
• Water: ~1 cup weekly; reduce frequency in winter
• Drainage: ensure pot has drainage holes and discard excess water
• Humidity: tolerates typical indoor humidity; benefits from occasional misting

What growth and feeding should I expect for Devil’s Ivy?

Golden Pothos is generally a fast grower under bright indirect light and regular care. Boost growth during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer formulated for potted plants, following the fertilizer’s label directions.

• Growth: vigorous trailing vines suitable for hanging or training
• Fertilizer: use a diluted, pot-safe fertilizer in active growing season
• Repotting: move to a pot 2 inches wider when roots crowd the container

Is this plant safe and what precautions should I take?

Golden Pothos is grown for ornamental use only and is not intended for human or animal consumption. Its sap can irritate sensitive skin, so wear gloves when pruning and keep the plant away from pets and children who may chew leaves.

• Safety: not edible; keep out of reach of pets and small children
• Handling: sap may irritate; wash skin after contact and use gloves for trimming
• Placement: avoid high-traffic areas where leaves could be rubbed or nibbled
• Maintenance: remove yellowing leaves and monitor for pests

If your Pothos outgrows its container, gently lift the plant and repot into a container about 2 inches larger with fresh potting mix, then water thoroughly. When shipped, your plant will be secured in specialized packaging to arrive fresh from the Costa Farms greenhouse.
