Epipremnum aureum
Epipremnum aureum is a tropical climbing aroid with flexible vines, glossy heart-shaped leaves, and aerial roots that anchor to bark, moss poles, trellises, or other textured supports. In indoor pots it usually keeps its juvenile foliage, with green leaves marked by yellow to cream streaking, while supported mature plants can eventually produce larger, thicker leaves with a more divided outline.
This species is often called golden pothos, devil’s ivy, or simply pothos in everyday plant trade, although Pothos is also a separate botanical genus. The plant sold as Epipremnum aureum belongs in Araceae and grows naturally as a wet-tropical climber from Mo‘orea in the Society Islands, where its stems use aerial roots to move upward through humid forest structure.
Golden pothos traits at a glance
- Evergreen aroid vine with trailing or climbing stems.
- Glossy juvenile leaves with a broad heart-shaped base.
- Green foliage with yellow to cream marbling and streaks.
- Aerial roots that attach readily to moss poles, bark boards, or rough supports.
- Node-based stems that can trail, climb, branch, or root from cuttings in indoor pots.
How this species climbs and fills a pot
Epipremnum aureum grows from nodes spaced along flexible stems. Each node can produce a leaf, an aerial root, and a new shoot, which makes the plant easy to prune, root, and train. In a hanging pot the stems cascade and create a loose curtain of foliage; on a vertical support the same plant directs growth upward and can develop larger leaves over time.
As a wet-tropical climber, Epipremnum aureum needs air as well as moisture around the roots. A loose substrate and a pot with drainage are essential. Warmth keeps growth active, while consistent bright indirect light helps leaves expand evenly and protects the glossy surface from scorch.
Care for strong vines and airy roots
- Light: Place in bright indirect light or soft filtered light. The plant tolerates medium light, but very dim placement slows internode growth and can make vines thinner.
- Water: Water when the upper 20–30% of the potting mix has dried. The stems recover well from slight drying, while saturated mix can weaken the fine roots.
- Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco chips, or similar coarse material so water drains quickly and oxygen reaches the root zone.
- Temperature: Keep between 18–28 °C for regular growth. Protect from cold windowsills, winter draughts, and temperatures below about 12–15 °C.
- Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated. Higher humidity helps new leaves expand more smoothly, especially on climbing stems.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding in winter or under low light.
- Support and pruning: Let vines trail, or guide them onto a moss pole for stronger upward growth. Prune above a node to encourage branching and root cuttings from healthy stem pieces.
Problems that show up on older vines
- Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the potting mix has stayed wet for too long. Let the mix dry further and improve drainage before watering again.
- Brown, dry leaf edges: Look for irregular watering, strong sun, salt build-up, or dry heat near radiators. Flush the mix occasionally and move the plant away from hot air.
- Long bare sections: Increase light gradually and prune leggy stems back to active nodes so new shoots can fill in closer to the pot.
- Soft stems near the base: Inspect the roots and lower nodes. Soft, dark tissue usually points to overwatering, cold wet substrate, or poor aeration.
- Sticky leaves or speckling: Check the undersides and stem joints for scale, mealybugs, thrips, or mites, then isolate and treat early.
Safety around pets and children
Epipremnum aureum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Chewed leaves or stems can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue, and digestive tract, so keep the plant away from pets and small children. Wear gloves if your skin reacts easily to aroid sap.
Botanical name background
The genus name Epipremnum comes from Greek roots meaning “upon” and “trunk,” a reference to its climbing habit. The species epithet aureum means “golden,” matching the yellow-gold variegation associated with the classic cultivated plant.

Thorough history
Format: Hardcover
Levy provides a masterful history of American capitalism. His work is detailed and brilliantly written.
You should buy this book for its last section: the age of chaos. Here Levy details the US economy since Reagan and identifies critical trends and questions we all need to address.
This is not a book for a casual reader, each chapter is hard work. However, the rewards more than outweigh the effort.

An interesting look at capitalism in the US
Format: Hardcover
Seller:
Product arrived on time in good condition. No issues with the seller at all!
Book:
This is a pretty dense history of the US through the lense of capitalism. There are quite a few editing errors (typos, incorrect quotation formatting, etc) that are speed bumps to the flow of this book but don’t ruin the reading experience.
There are also a few moments where a subjective claim is made using a historical event as a backdrop, but the claim isn’t elaborated on as well as it could be. I chalk this up to the focus of the book being on history and not economics, but I do think if a claim is made it would be interesting to have more data as to why the claim was made.

Marx had the proletariat, Mao had the farmers, America has the owners of financial capital
Format: Kindle
What makes Jonathan Levy’s book so informative is that it is truly a parallel history of its politics and its economics. And only by viewing these two intertwined paths side by side can you truly understand the myth of the American free market.
America’s politics and its economics have never, since the country’s founding, been separated. The state has been an integral part of everything economic to an extent that would make the most rabid socialist gasp in horror. The only difference is that while the Marxist state stood side by side with the proletariat, and Mao built the number two economy in the world on the support of farmers, America built its economic marvel on the backs of, and for the benefit of, the owners of financial capital.
That’s not all bad, mind you. It takes workers, farmers, and the owners of capital to build a modern economy. The tension comes when there is a lack of balance between the importance the state attaches to each.
And there can be little surprise that America’s politicians have put the owners of financial capital at the top of their list of priorities. Politicians, after all, can do nothing without power, and power comes via the electoral process, a process that is today fueled by obscene amounts of money. And who has all that money?
The American economic narrative is a misleading tale of meritocracy and free markets. The Horatio Alger-based myth is that you are only limited by your skills and your ambition. And like most enduring myths there is a thread of truth to it. Many successful people truly deserve what they have achieved.
But does anyone really possess $150 billion of personal merit? Can we statistically accept that the wealthiest nation in the world is also one of the most financially unequal without seeing a pattern of bias?
Perhaps the most selectively quoted book in history is Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations”, published, strangely enough, in 1776. Often credited with being the father of capitalism, Smith argued that markets free of excessive regulation would be more efficient than markets that were overly regulated, although Smith “made no categorical separation between the political and the economic, or state and market.”
Smith did, however, warn against the socially destructive power of monopolies, which unregulated markets will not protect against, and he correctly predicted that the excessive division of labor would lead to a degree of labor and wealth inequity that would destroy society.
At the time when US Steel, General Electric, and General Motors, among many others, were the power behind America’s global economic hegemony, most Americans earned a living through wages. And those wages were made possible by long term fixed investments that created jobs.
They were generally big bets that took a long time to earn a return but that aligned with the jobs-first priorities of most companies. (Employees first, communities second, shareholders a distant third.) And while not every employee enjoyed the same salary, the differences between the top earners and the average earners was a fraction of what it is today.
That era, of course, is long over. The current economy is geared toward the creation of wealth through the short-term investment in assets that will appreciate rapidly and are highly liquid. At the moment that is the stock market and synthetic financial tools pedaled by hedge funds, banks, and the like.
The problem is that the wage market encompassed much of America. The asset appreciation market encompasses only a tiny sliver of the richest among us. There is spillover, of course. The lawyers, analysts, consultants, bankers, and sales people who serve the asset appreciation market are doing quite well. But the man or woman who has less education and who might have made a decent living in a steel mill or car assembly plant, has lost out. And despite what the politicians will tell you, the gap is getting wider.
(I spent a career in corporate industry, have a college degree in economics, have been a CEO, and have served on four public company boards. I know enough to know that Levy knows what he’s talking about.)
The second important point to come out of all this is that economics is not really a “science” as most people think of that term. There is a shared jargon and there are commonly accepted principles. The very idea that there is an economy that is distinct from all other aspects of human existence, including the state, however, is a relatively recent concept.
The weakness of the distinction, in fact, is clearly demonstrated by the remarkable reality of just how diverse the history of the American economy is. The sun doesn’t always rise in the east in the world of economics. In each of the economic eras Levy describes it is stunning how few people actually formulated the thinking that defined them.
I will join some of the other reviewers in suggesting that the author could have spent more time explaining some of the jargon inevitably found in a treatise on economics. The layman obviously wasn’t his target audience but the book, I believe, could have read more smoothly and been much, much shorter. (The editor and publisher have to take some of the blame for this.)
Even if you have to slog your way through the more tedious sections on global capital flows and such, however, you’ll get something from the book even if you’ve never set foot in an economics classroom. If you get no more than the fact that the free market is a myth and that most long term capital that actually creates jobs and income for the average American is actually provided by you, the taxpayer, not the Wall Street capitalist, you will better understand why there is so much division in our country right now.
We don’t have a democratic economy. The young wonders of Silicon Valley would have nothing if it wasn’t for your tax dollars and your pension plan, if you’re still lucky enough to have one.
We can do better. We have to. The economic inequity we have now is simply not sustainable.
