Golden Pothos
As the original pothos on the market, Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a true classic in the plant world. Sporting heart-shaped foliage with gorgeous golden-yellow variegation atop deep green leaves, what’s not to love? This tropical aroid is native to French Polynesia but has become a mainstay in the indoor plant market within the US.

Pearls and Jade Pothos
Much like the Marble Queen Pothos, the Pearls and Jade Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘UFM12’) boasts bright white variegation. This plant differs however, in the way that the variegation tends to be more splotchy and random. Additionally the leaves on this pothos are more wavy in texture and slightly smaller than the typical Pothos leaves.
Marble Queen Pothos
Next on the list is the Marble Queen Pothos. Much like the name suggests, the Marble Queen Pothos exudes royalty and elegance. Enjoy consistent dappled white and green variegation on the classic heart-shaped leaf! The growth on these pothos is slower than others due to a lack of chlorophyll in the leaves, but the wait is so worth it!
Silvery Ann Pothos
The Silvery Ann Pothos (Scindapsis pictus) is like the younger sibling of the Silver Satin Pothos. This stunning houseplant has the same shimmering foliage but in a smaller form! Not to mention, unlike your typical pothos plant that requires a bright indirect light, Satin Pothos can tolerate medium-low light levels with ease!
Silver Satin Pothos
Next on the list is the Silver Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica'). While not technically a member of the Pothos family, the Silver Satin Pothos is a close cousin that has the same growth habits and overall form of the Pothos plant. The Scindapsus Exotica is unique in the way that it has massive leaves that are matte green with a silvery-toned reflective covering. These plants will quite literally shine in your indoor space!
Neon Pothos
Last but certainly not least on the list of Pothos plants to love is the vibrant and bold Neon Pothos. As one of the most eye-catching pothos varieties, the Neon Pothos is characterized by its almost blinding neon green foliage! For a pop of color in a dull space, we recommend incorporating the Neon Pothos into your plant design.
Design Opportunities With Pothos
Because this plant is oh-so versatile, the design opportunities with it or endless! The trailing nature of these plants makes it ideal for high surfaces, bookshelves, ledges and hanging planters.
This tropical houseplant can also make a grand statement as a floor plant! Because these plants are aroids, they are accustomed to vining up trees to reach the light from the rainforest floors. You can replicate this climbing nature by giving your pothos a moss pole to climb! You will be amazed who the plant leaves near-triple in size when given the opportunity to climb!
Beyond growing in containers, Pothos also make a gorgeous addition to homes when grown in water. This is a method known as propagation or hydroponics!
Propagating Your Pothos Plant
Pothos are amazing plants that are ideal for propagating! Never propagated before? Don’t sweat it! The process is so simple, and the results will be extremely rewarding because, let’s be real, who doesn’t want more plants?
To propagate pothos plants, simply find a node (a small brown point on a vine, usually below the leaf). Cut just below the node and place in a clear container with water. Add a rooting powder to your water for optimal growth! Place your propagation in a sunny location and watch as roots begin to flourish within a few weeks!
It is important to note that you should change out your water every so often and top off as needed! And it’s that simple!
