Could there be a more recognizable houseplant than the golden pothos? This vining beauty has been a staple for decades. Its yellow and green variegated leaves look beautiful trailing down from a hanging pot or trained up a trellis.
Pothos are indestructible and will grow in any lighting except direct sun. Water it when the top 2" of water are dry to the touch.
Propagates easily by stem cuttings. When your plant gets too long just give it a haircut and stick the clippings into some water. Pot into soil when you see 2" of roots.
