Beginner FriendlyGolden Pothos
Epipremnum aureum
Golden Pothos is arguably the most forgiving houseplant in existence. It tolerates low light, irregular watering, and neglect with remarkable grace. Its heart-shaped, golden-variegated leaves trail beautifully from shelves or climb a moss pole. It's also one of the most effective air-purifying plants available.
