Hawaiian Pothos | Epipremnum aureum ‘Hawaiian’ | Hawaiian Devil's Ivy | Giant Golden Pothos
Hawaiian Pothos is a stunning, fast-growing tropical trailing aroid (widely grown as a spectacular indoor house plant) prized for its spectacular, continuous profusion of massive, heart-shaped leaves heavily splashed and marbled with vibrant, golden-yellow variegation. This exceptionally tough, highly adaptable selection is known for its vigorous, cascading vine habit and bold, luminous foliage that creates a dramatic, eye-catching statement piece for any collection. It thrives in ambient household humidity and bright, indirect light, making it a spectacular, low-maintenance thriller and spiller for indoor hanging baskets, tall bookshelves, sturdy moss poles, and shaded summer patio containers. With its bold, sweeping vines and uniquely glowing foliage, Hawaiian Pothos offers an extraordinary display of vibrant, tropical color with exceptionally straightforward care.
Growing Hawaiian Pothos
Light: Bright, indirect light; thrives in dappled shade or near a bright window when grown indoors. It requires strict protection from harsh, direct sunlight, which will easily scorch its delicate, brightly colored leaves, though too much shade will cause it to lose its striking golden variegation and revert to a darker, duller green.
Soil: Rich, airy, well-drained soil; prefers a highly organic, chunky houseplant potting mix amended with perlite and fine orchid bark to retain adequate moisture while ensuring excellent aeration and drainage. It is extremely susceptible to root rot in heavy, waterlogged soils.
Water: Moderate; water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. It strongly dislikes sitting in standing water, but will subtly droop its leaves to signal when it is genuinely thirsty, recovering rapidly once watered.
Maintenance: Exceptionally low maintenance. Provide a sturdy trellis, coco coir stick, or moss pole for it to climb, which will encourage the plant to produce significantly larger, mature leaves that can even develop dramatic fenestrations (splits) over time. Prune back the exceptionally long, trailing vines regularly to maintain a bushier shape at the crown.
Wildlife: Generally grown indoors; its sap contains calcium oxalate crystals and is mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Outdoors, its thick foliage is naturally deer-resistant.
Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 10–12; widely grown as a spectacular, fast-growing shade annual in cooler regions or overwintered indoors as a vibrant, year-round house plant.
