I. Soil
Epipremnum aureum has good adaptability and does not have high requirements for soil. Generally, using loose and well-drained soil is fine, preferably slightly acidic soil.
II. Watering and Fertilizing
Epipremnum aureum has strong drought resistance and does not need too much water. Excessive watering can easily cause root rot. Especially in winter, it is important to water less. In summer, due to fast evaporation, you can water more appropriately, and also spray some water on its leaves. It prefers a relatively humid growing environment, and you can place a humidifier nearby to speed up its growth. During its growing period, fertilize with liquid fertilizer every half month, or use Epipremnum aureum-specific fertilizer for convenience.
III. Lighting
Epipremnum aureum prefers a shady environment and should not be placed in direct strong sunlight, as its leaves can easily turn yellow and fall off. Of course, it also cannot be placed in a dark place, as it will affect photosynthesis, and the new leaves will also turn yellow. It is best to place it in a cool, well-ventilated area with sufficient light.
The most suitable temperature for its growth is 20°C, so it must be kept indoors during winter, and the room temperature should not be lower than 10°C, otherwise it may freeze. Also, the plant should not be placed near heating, as its leaves may become dry and yellow.
