Description: You will receive 6 cuttings similar to pictures 2 & 3. Some cuttings may already have roots for faster growth. They will be shipped in moist paper towels to maintain viability. Golden Pothos is one of the easiest houseplants to grow even if you are the most botanically challenged gardener. Cuttings are long enough that extra cuttings can easily be taken from your plants then placed in your potting container to rapidly increase the size of your basket. This is a very hardy plant that can tolerate shipping stress but some leaves may inevitably wilt or fall off during shipping. For best results, you may start your cuttings in water or you may plant them directly in any good quality well draining potting soil or soil-less medium. Pothos does best if started indoors by a sunny window then transplanted outdoors when well established. Cuttings will be shipped within 2 to 5 days of payment depending on the day payment is received. Orders received after Wed 5pm will be shipped on MondayGOLDEN POTHOS, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS DEVIL'S IVY, CAN BE FOUND NATURALLY IN FORESTS FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA TO THE WEST PACIFIC. IT IS A VERY STRONG, FAST GROWING CLIMBING PLANT THAT IS AN IDEAL STARTER PLANT FOR EVEN THE MOST BOTANICALLY CHALLENGED GARDENER. IT WILL FLOURISH AS A HOUSEPLANT AND CAN CLIMB WHETHER GROWN INDOOR OR OUTDOOR. GOLDEN POTHOS WILL CLIMB TREES ASCENDING UP TO 40 FEET OR MORE WITH LEAVES THAT CAN GROW UP TO 18 INCHES OR MORE IN LENGTH AND CAN DEVELOP THICK ROPE-LIKE VINES THAT ARE STRONG ENOUGH FOR TARZAN TO SWING ON. GOLDEN POTHOS IS EXTREMEMLY ADAPTABLE TO MANY LIGHTING CONDITIONS. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AS A GROUND COVER WHERE IT WILL STILL THRIVE EVEN IN THE MOST SHADED OF CONDITIONS. IT'S ADAPTABILITY TO DIFFERENT LIGHTING CONDITIONS MAKE IT A SUPERIOR HOUSE PLANT BUT IT PREFERS TO HAVE SOME SUNLIGHT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN IT'S YELLOW AND GREEN MARBLED VARIEGATION. EXCESSIVE INTENSE SUNLIGHT CAN SOMETIMES RESULT IN LEAF BURN BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE AND IN MANY CASES, THIS PLANT WILL ADAPT TO EVEN INTENSIVE SUNLIGHT. SOIL: ALTHOUGH GOLDEN POTHOS IS EXTREMELY ADAPTABLE TO A WIDE VARIETY OF SOILS IN THE WILD, LIKE MOST PLANTS IT GROWS BEST IN ANY GOOD QUALITY WELL DRAINING POROUS POTTING MIXTURE OR SOIL-LESS MEDIUM. A MIXTURE CONTAINING ANY COMBINATION OF PEAT MOSS, PERLITE, VERMICULITE, AND OR COCO COIR WILL KEEP GOLDEN POTHOS VERY HAPPY AND THRIVING. IN MY GARDEN GOLDEN POTHOS HAS ADAPTED WELL TO CALCAREOUS SOIL WHICH ALTHOUGH ALKALINE AND VERY COMPACT, HAS NOT STOPPED MY CLIMBING POTHOS FROM STILL THRIVING AND CREATING HUGE LEAVES. THE IDEAL SOIL PH SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 6.0 AND 6.5 BUT AGAIN, THIS IS A VERY ADAPTABLE PLANT THAT HAS THRIVED EVEN IN MY VERY ALKALINE GARDEN SOIL WHICH IS MOSTLY SAND AND HIGHLY ALKALINE. WATERING: DUE TO IT'S DROUGHT TOLERANCE, GOLDEN POTHOS IS VERY FORGIVING IF YOUR SOIL BECOMES TOO DRY WHEN GROWN INDOORS AS A POTTED PLANT. LIKE MOST HOUSE PLANTS, POTHOS WILL GROW FASTEST WHEN SOIL REMAINS MOIST BUT NOT WATER LOGGED. THE VOLUME OF WATER APPLIED WILL DEPEND ON HOW HOT OR DRY YOUR CONDITIONS MIGHT BE. WHEN GROWN INDOORS IN AIR CONDITIONING SOIL WILL SOMETIMES DRY OUT QUICKLY REQUIRING MORE FREQUENT WATERING. IN GENERAL, THE SOIL BENEATH YOUR PLANT SHOULD FEEL MOIST TO THE TOUCH IF YOU DRILL YOUR MIDDLE FINGER DEEP (ABOUT 3 TO 4 INCHES) INTO YOUR POTTING MIX JUST OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN STEM OF YOUR PLANT. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THE TOPSOIL OF YOUR PLANT FOR DRYNESS WHICH CAN GIVE YOU AN INDICATION OF THE NEED FOR WATERING. WHEN GROWN OUTDOORS IN A GARDEN SETTING, FREQUENT WATERING IN VERY HOT DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR RAPID GROWTH BUT ONCE THE ROOT SYSTEM OF YOUR POTHOS IS WELL ESTABLISHED (SEVERAL MONTHS OLD) IT WILL BECOME QUITE DROUGHT TOLERANT REQUIRING LITTLE CARE.LEAVES THAT BECOME A SICKLY YELLOW COLOR MAY INDICATE EXCESSIVE WATERING WHICH IS EASILY CORRECTED BY EITHER ALLOWING THE SOIL TO DRY OUT OR REPOTTING YOUR PLANT IN FRESH DRY SOIL. SUNLIGHT: ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES OF GOLDEN POTHOS IS IT'S ADAPTABILITY TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF LIGHTING THAT CAN RANGE FROM FULL SUN TO FULL SHADE ONCE YOUR PLANT IS WELL ESTABLISHED. BECAUSE POTHOS CAN BE GROWN INDOORS IN CONDITIONS OF BOTH INDIRECT OR LOW LIGHTING, THIS ADAPTABILITY MAKES THE PLANT EXCELLENT TO GROW OUTDOORS IN COLDER USDA ZONES, THEN BROUGHT INDOORS AS CUTTINGS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. CUTTINGS ESTABLISH THEMSELVES VERY QUICKLY AND BY THE TIME SPRING RETURNS YOUR CUTTINGS WILL HAVE GAINED FANTASTIC GROWTH SO THEY WILL BE READY TO MOVE OUTDOORS WHERE THEY MAY CONTINUE GROWING FOR THE REST OF THE WARMER MONTHS. THIS MAKES YOUR GOLDEN POTHOS A NEVER ENDING PLANT THAT YOU CAN HAVE ALL YEAR ROUND. TEMPERATURE: BECAUSE POTHOS IS A TROPICAL PLANT, IT PREFERS CLIMATES IN USDA ZONES 10-12 BUT IS VERY ADAPATABLE TO COLDER ZONES SUCH AS 9B PROVIDED YOU BRING YOUR PLANT INDOOR OR TAKE CUTTINGS THAT YOU MAY CONTINUE GROWING INDOORS DURING THE WINTER, THEN REPLANT OUTDOORS DURING THE WARMER MONTHS. IDEAL TEMPERATURES FOR POTHOS RANGE BETWEEN 70 TO 90 DEGREES F WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. DESPITE BEING A TROPICAL PLANT POTHOS CAN STILL TOLERATE MODERATE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 55 TO 85 DEGREES F AS WELL AS LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS SUCH AS INDOOR AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENTS. FERTILIZER: LIKE ANY TROPICAL PLANT, POTHOS WILL GROW FASTEST IN SOIL THAT IS HIGH IN ORGANIC NUTRIENTS BUT IS VERY MUCH ADAPTABLE TO SOIL THAT HAS LOW NUTRIENTS. GROWN OUTDOORS YOU MAY FERTILIZE YOUR PLANT TWICE A YEAR IN SPRING AND LATE SUMMER IF YOU HAVE POOR SOIL. YOUR PLANT WILL DO WELL BY APPLYING A SLOW RELEASE GENERAL FERTILIZER. IF GROWN INDOORS YOU MAY APPLY A BALANCED HOUSPLANT FERTILIZER AT HALF STRENGTH EVERY 1 TO 3 MONTHS TO KEEP YOUR PLANT LOOKING GOOD AND GROWING WELL. I make every effort to ship plants as soon as payment is received. I do not provide hot packs so be mindful of cold temperatures in your area. This evergreen perennial tolerates mild temperatures when it is young preferably no lower than 50 F. For this reason you may need to be present when the post man delivers your package or have someone collect it from your mail box and bring it indoors to warmer temperatures before it gets damaged.I ship all of my plants via USPS FIRST CLASS 2 to 3 day delivery or Fed Ex Home delivery/GROUND/SMART POST with tracking that is available upon request but unfortunately, sometimes the postal service does not deliver on time and packages do sometimes get lost. Please try to understand, this is something that is out of my control. PLEASE NOTE THAT I PREFER NOT TO SHIP TO HAWAII OR INTERNATIONALLY DUE TO THE RISK OF THE PLANT NOT SURVIVING THE JOURNEY. IF YOU WISH TO COVER THE COST OF EXPEDITED SHIPPING YOU CAN MESSAGE ME AND WE CAN DISCUSS OPTIONS BUT I CAN NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO USPS OR OTHER SHIPPING CARRIER SERVICES THAT DO NOT DELIVER ON TIME RESULTING IN THE DEATH OF YOUR SEEDLING(S)
