Pothos is the plant that taught most people they could keep a plant. It grows in low light, forgives a missed watering, and keeps putting out leaves while you are not paying attention. There is a reason it hangs in every office stairwell in the country.

The gold is what sets this one apart from the plain green forms. Each leaf is marbled differently, streaks and splashes of yellow across deep green, no two the same even on the same vine.

On a moss ball the vining habit finally has somewhere to go. The leaves spill over the edge and the stems trail down past the moss, so the whole thing reads as one object rather than a plant sitting on top of a sphere. Over time it will grow long enough to drape, which is when it looks best.

Details

• Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
• Category: Tropical
• Live moss ball, hand formed
• Display dishes sold separately
• Toxic to cats and dogs if chewed
• Handmade individually, so moss coverage, ball shape, and variegation vary from the photo.
• Approximate size: 5″ X 11″

Care

• Light: bright indirect light keeps the gold strong, but it tolerates medium and low light better than almost anything. In a dim corner the variegation fades toward plain green.
• Water: soak 2 to 3 minutes, drain fully, then let the ball dry down noticeably before the next soak. Roughly every 7 to 10 days indoors. Check by weight. Heavy means wait, light means water.
• Temperature: normal indoor range, above 60F / 15C. Keep it away from cold drafts.
• Yellow leaves almost always mean too much water. Brown crispy edges mean too little, or dry air.
• Trim any vine that gets longer than you want. Cut just above a leaf node and the plant branches from there.
• Average household humidity is fine. No misting needed.

Every ball is formed and wrapped by hand, so the jute pattern and the shape of the sphere are unique to your piece. The plant varies too, in size, form, and color. Yours will not look exactly like the photo, and we think that is the best part.
