20 - 30cm Aureum Pothos Epipremnum House Plant 23cm Bowl

🌿 Epipremnum aureum in Bowl Pot — Golden Pothos / Devil’s Ivy

Epipremnum aureum, widely known as Golden Pothos or Devil’s Ivy, is a classic, easy-care trailing houseplant celebrated for its heart-shaped green leaves marbled with golden-yellow variegation. Fast-growing, adaptable, and incredibly forgiving, it’s one of the most popular indoor plants in the world — and for good reason. When grown in a large, shallow bowl pot, its trailing vines drape beautifully over the sides, making it perfect for shelves, tabletops, kitchen counters, and interior styling. This versatile plant thrives in a variety of lighting conditions and is an excellent air-purifier, making it equally at home in offices, living rooms, and lower-light corners. Whether you're styling a single specimen or grouping with other foliage plants, Golden Pothos always delivers vibrant, tropical charm with minimal effort.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Indoors: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light well.

• Direct sun: Avoid harsh midday sun, which may bleach or scorch the leaves.

• Low light: Will result in slower growth and reduced variegation but will survive.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–26°C (65–79°F)

• Minimum temperature: Keep above 13°C (55°F)

• Humidity: Adaptable to most household humidity. Higher humidity encourages faster growth but is not essential.

💧 Watering Needs

• Watering frequency: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid soggy conditions, especially in bowl pots.

• Winter: Reduce watering slightly to match slower growth.

• Tip: Yellowing leaves typically indicate overwatering; dry, brown edges usually suggest underwatering.

🪴 Soil & Bowl Potting Notes

• Soil type: Use a well-draining houseplant mix with added perlite or coarse sand for airflow.

• Pot type: Grows beautifully in wide, shallow bowl pots, allowing vines to trail naturally over the edges.

• Drainage: Ensure pots have drainage holes, or use a nursery liner inside decorative bowls to prevent root rot.

🌱 Feeding

• Growing season (spring–summer): Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser.

• Autumn–winter: Reduce feeding to every 6–8 weeks or pause if growth is minimal.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Pruning: Trim back leggy vines to promote fuller growth and shape. Great for styling and tidying.

• Leaf care: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep foliage vibrant.

• Training: Can be trailed or lightly trained around bowls or table displays for creative styling.

🌾 Propagation

• Stem cuttings: Very easy to propagate in water or directly into soil. Cut below a node and place in water until roots form.

• Perfect for sharing: Great for beginners wanting to create new plants or fill out existing displays.

🐛 Pests & Problems

• Common pests: Mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites — particularly in very dry or dusty conditions.

• Symptoms: Pale, sticky, or curling leaves may indicate pests or inconsistent watering.

• Treatment: Wipe leaves and treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Improve airflow and light if needed.

• Common issues:

  • Leggy growth: Usually due to low light — move to a brighter spot.

  • Loss of variegation: Caused by lack of light — golden tones will return with better lighting.

🧤 Toxicity & Safety

• Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Contains calcium oxalates which can irritate.

• Precaution: Keep out of reach of children and pets.

🏡 Decor Use & Styling Tips

• Perfect for bowl-style pots placed on:

  • Dining and coffee tables as lush, effortless centrepieces

  • Shelves, consoles, or bookshelves for soft trailing movement

  • Bathrooms or kitchens where its tolerance to humidity and light variation shines
