Last 4 years, I had been avoiding getting plants for our home here, because our stay in Bangkok felt temporary. Having realised now, that we’re not going anywhere any time soon, I decided to dive back into gardening. First up, Golden Pothos.

Golden Pothos, scientifically known as Epipremnum aureum, is a beloved houseplant known for its vibrant heart-shaped leaves that can bring a touch of nature indoors. Often referred to as “Devil’s Ivy,” this plant is praised for its adaptability and low maintenance requirements, making it a perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. In India, it is more well-known as the money-plant.

It is native to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific.

I have written about them before & I discovered that we already have one in our house here, that my wife has been neglecting.

This one is in a glass pot, on our living room shelves, indirect sunlight.

This one is in a hanging configuration, hanging in our north-facing balcony. There it receives direct sunlight 1-2 hours a day in the mornings.

This plant requires no maintenance at all.

I water the outdoor one thrice a week and the indoor one twice a week, reducing the frequency for the outdoor one if it rains.

I fertilise when it shows signs of growth which is mostly during spring and summer.
