Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) - Growth
Evergreen, root-clinging climbers. Often seen as an indoor plant grown in window boxes or large terrariums. Pothos needs space as it will produce long vine-like stems. If the climate is mild year round, Pothos will grow up even the tallest of trees. They do best in bright, indirect light or partial sun shaded in the afternoon. Grow Pothos against wall, through trees, or over a pergola. In less hardy areas, raise plants indoors, as houseplants or in a warm greenhouse. A warm greenhouse has a minimum temperature of 55°F (13°C). During the day, temperatures should be set to 55-64°F (13-18°C) or above, and at night, the temperature should be at 55°F (13°C).
