E. aureum grows vines to a height of up to 20 m, stems up to 4 cm in diameter and aerial roots attached to the surface of the host tree. Stems hang down when climbing trees and will elongate roots when they reach ground level and grow onward.
Leaves sit alternately, heart-shaped, intact on young plants but irregular pinnate on adult plants, reaching 100 cm long, 45 cm wide and 20 cm long young leaves. Leaves that grow on dangling stems are usually 10 cm long and are usually cultivated as potted plants.
Golden pothos are very popular as a houseplant with many cultivars for their white, yellow and light green leaves. Often used in decorative displays in shopping malls, offices, other public locations because it is shady, beautiful and doesn't require much maintenance.
