🌿 Basic Care Guide for Golden Pothos

☀️ Light

• Ideal: Bright, indirect light.

• Avoid: Direct sunlight — it can scorch the leaves.

💧 Water

• When to water: When the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

• How much: Water thoroughly until it drains out the bottom, then empty the saucer.

🌱 Propagation
