Climber Scindapsus Aureus (Variegated Money Plant), Type J7, Creeper 10L, 1.0-1.2M Marble Queen

Scindapsus aureus, commonly known as Golden Pothos or Devil's Ivy, is a popular houseplant known for its heart-shaped, green leaves with yellow variegation. It’s a hardy, low-maintenance plant, ideal for beginners. Here’s how to care for it:

1. Light
Bright, Indirect Light: Scindapsus aureus thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. It can grow in a variety of lighting situations, though its variegation may fade in low light.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so keep it away from harsh, direct rays.
2. Watering
Moderate Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Pothos prefers to dry out slightly between waterings, so avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.
Reduce Watering in Winter: During the dormant season, reduce watering to prevent waterlogging.
3. Humidity
Average Humidity: Scindapsus aureus is not fussy about humidity, but it will thrive in moderate to high humidity. Misting occasionally or placing the plant near a humidifier can help in dry environments.
4. Temperature
Warm Temperatures: This plant prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it is sensitive to cold.
5. Soil
Well-Draining Potting Mix: Use a light, well-draining potting mix, such as a blend for houseplants. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating.
6. Fertilization
Feed Sparingly: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Feeding is not necessary during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
7. Pruning
Trim Regularly: Prune leggy vines to encourage bushier growth and maintain the desired shape. You can also propagate the cuttings in water to grow new plants.
8. Repotting
Repot Every 1-2 Years: Repot your pothos every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one, and refresh the soil to keep it healthy.
9. Pest Control
Pest-Resistant but Monitor for Issues: Pothos are generally resistant to pests but may occasionally attract mealybugs, spider mites, or scale. Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
10. Toxicity
Keep Away from Pets and Children: Scindapsus aureus is toxic if ingested by pets or humans, so keep it out of reach.
By following these simple care tips, your Scindapsus aureus will grow into a lush, trailing beauty that’s perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a climbing plant. Its resilience and attractive foliage make it a favorite for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
