Giant Hawaiian Pothos Growing Up a Moss Pole in a Decorative Pot with Stand 2ft+ Tall exact plant

This Giant Hawaiian Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Hawaiian’) is a vigorous climbing vine with oversized heart-shaped leaves marked in green and creamy gold. Grown and hand-selected in our Florida greenhouse on a moss pole, this 2ft+ plant in a decorative pot with stand develops the larger mature foliage that trailing forms rarely show. It adds bold tropical scale to indoor spaces and ships ready for homes across the country.

Giant Hawaiian Pothos does best in bright indirect light to hold strong variegation and encourage large leaves. Place it near an east-facing window or a few feet back from south or west glass with a sheer curtain. Lower light slows growth and lets the gold fade toward solid green, while direct sun can scorch the foliage. Rotate the pot every week or two so all sides develop evenly. Grow lights support it well in darker rooms.

No, Giant Hawaiian Pothos is not pet safe. Like other Epipremnum aureum varieties, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. If a cat or dog chews the leaves or stems, the crystals cause mouth irritation, drooling, pawing at the face, and sometimes vomiting. The ASPCA lists the species as toxic to pets. Keep it on a high surface or out of reach of animals and small children.

Water the moss pole often or as needed to keep moist and water the pot  when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry, typically every 7 to 10 days in active growth. Use filtered or room-temperature water for better results and to limit mineral buildup on the leaves. Soak the soil thoroughly until water drains from the bottom, then empty the saucer. Keep the moss pole lightly moist so aerial roots can grip it. Reduce frequency in winter or low light. Overwatering is the main cause of root rot, so it is safer to stay slightly dry.

This climbing aroid prefers a chunky, well-draining mix with bark and perlite. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Keep temperatures between 65 and 85°F with average household humidity. Gently mist or dampen the moss pole to support climbing and larger leaf development. Prune leggy growth to encourage fuller vines and root cuttings easily in water. After years of growing tropicals in our Florida nursery, we find consistent bright light and careful watering give the strongest results.
