kultaköynnös

Kultaköynnös is the Finnish name for the plant species Epipremnum aureum, commonly known in English as golden pothos or devil's ivy. It is a popular houseplant native to tropical forests of Southeast Asia and Australasia. Kultaköynnös is characterized by its trailing vines and heart-shaped leaves, which are typically green with splashes or streaks of yellow or golden variegation. The intensity and pattern of this variegation can vary greatly among different cultivars.

This plant is highly adaptable and can tolerate a wide range of indoor conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can also survive in lower light conditions, though its variegation may become less pronounced. Kultaköynnös prefers well-draining potting mix and should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake and can lead to root rot.

Kultaköynnös is known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to remove common household toxins from the air. It is also very easy to propagate; cuttings can be rooted in water or soil, allowing for easy expansion of one's plant collection or sharing with others. Due to its vigorous growth, it can be trained to climb trellises or cascade from hanging baskets and shelves. The plant is mildly toxic if ingested, so caution is advised around pets and small children.
