Golden Pothos is a lovely variegated vine plant that can easily be the centerpiece plant in any setup!

Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a tropical plant that is native to French Polynesia. It is an epiphytic plant that will grow toward light along a variety of surfaces in vining fashion. This plant thrives in moist conditions and is ideal for the terrarium, vivarium, and paludarium. It is reportedly very useful and practical with various terrarium frogs such as tree frogs and dart frogs.

Golden Pothos requires low to high lighting, but it will be most colorful under high lighting. It should be planted in soil that is moist, but not necessarily soggy. It will quickly fill in any available space, especially the back of the enclosure. It has a very prolific growth rate and large potential size, so it is not very suitable for small setups.

Specialty fertilizers exist for houseplant use, but many such fertilizers can be harmful in a terrarium or paludarium. Golden Pothos is a versatile, adaptable plant and generally does not need supplemental fertilizers in terrarium, vivarium, and paludarium settings.

This listing is for the tissue culture form of Golden Pothos. Tissue cultures are superior to traditional forms of aquarium plants in many ways. They are produced in a completely sterile environment which eliminates the possibility of them carrying pest animals or algae spores. They have a shelf life (before introduction to the aquarium) of several months if properly maintained and they are housed in a nutrient gel until introduced to the terrarium. To introduce a tissue culture plant to the terrarium, simply rinse off as much nutrient gel as possible, then plant as usual. The nutrient gel will not harm your terrarium.
