Green Pothos CuttingÂ
(Epipremnum aureum)
Add a classic, natural look to your aquarium or home with the timeless beauty of Green Pothos. Known for its hardy nature and lush trailing vines, this plant is a favorite among aquarists because its roots actively absorb excess nutrients from the water — helping keep tanks cleaner while giving your setup a “riparium” style appearance.
Key Features:
- Classic Natural Look: Rich green, heart-shaped leaves complement any aquarium or room.
- Extremely Hardy: One of the most forgiving plants you can grow — perfect for beginners.
- Natural Water Filtration: Roots consume nitrates and waste nutrients that fuel algae.
- Dual Purpose Plant: Grow with roots in an aquarium (leaves out of water) or in soil as a houseplant.
- Supports Fish Health: Helps stabilize water quality and improve overall tank conditions.
Care Guide:
- Lighting: Low to moderate indirect light (very adaptable)
- Water Temperature: 65°F – 85°F (18°C – 29°C)
- pH Level: 6.0 – 7.8
- Placement: Secure on tank rim, hang-on filter, or plant in soil
- Growth Habit: Fast-growing trailing vine; easy to trim and propagate
Green Pothos is a simple but powerful addition to aquariums, especially shrimp and community tanks. Its fast growth pulls nutrients from the water column, helping reduce algae while giving your aquarium a clean, natural aesthetic above the waterline.
