Golden Pothos is very forgiving and easy to care for, making it ideal for beginners. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions, though variegation may decrease. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. It can be propagated easily from stem cuttings placed in water or soil.
