The story
Pothos is the most legible plant we sell — the leaves go soft and slightly limp when it wants water, and recover within hours of getting it. That feedback loop is why it is such a good first plant: you learn what thirst looks like without paying for the lesson.
It will trail from a shelf, climb a moss pole, or root from a cutting in a glass of water on the kitchen counter. The golden variegation holds better in brighter light and fades towards plain green in a dim corner, which is a useful signal about where it is happiest.
How to care for it
Medium to bright indirect light; tolerates less but grows slower and greener. Water when the top 2–3cm dries out. Happy in a bathroom. Pinch the growing tips to make it bushier rather than leggy, and propagate the cuttings — they root in water in about two weeks.
Common questions
Are your plants grown locally or imported?
Our plants are grown on and acclimatised locally before they are sold, which is the step that prevents the leaf drop people often see after buying a plant that has just been shipped. Where a specimen was originally sourced from abroad we will tell you if you ask.
What soil do you use?
The same mix for every plant we pot: coco peat for moisture retention, perlite and volcanic rock for air pockets and drainage, and composted bark for structure. The success of a plant starts from the correct substrate — it is the most common reason indoor plants fail. We sell the same mix if you want to repot yourself.
Which of your plants are safe for cats and dogs?
Kentia palm, Calathea orbifolia, Echeveria and Boston fern are not known to be toxic. Monstera, pothos, philodendron, ZZ plant, snake plant, peace lily, and the ficus species are toxic if chewed. Every product page states this explicitly, and where the evidence is genuinely unclear we mark it as unconfirmed rather than guessing.
