Is Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) Toxic? The Truth About Growing Pothos Indoors

Gardeners are afraid to grow pothos indoors, worried that it is toxic. A humble gardener tells you the real answer!

Gardeners ask: can pothos be placed indoors? Is it really toxic? Can it purify the air?

Pothos really is toxic, but its toxicity is very weak. Most of the flowers we grow are slightly toxic. As long as you do not deliberately eat it, no problems will arise. Even if you touch its leaves and stems, it will not cause poisoning. If there are children at home, try to keep an eye on them and just make sure they do not eat it by mistake.

In most homes, pothos is placed indoors, and this is perfectly fine. Because pothos is easy to grow, has beautiful leaves, and can purify the air. It can also absorb formaldehyde. Keeping a pot of pothos indoors can remove dust from the air and make the home environment fresher. Especially in a newly purchased house, after renovation, placing a few pots of pothos can help you remove indoor formaldehyde. It is very good.

Moreover, pothos is very easy to grow. Whether water-cultured or soil-cultured, as long as you water and fertilize regularly, it will grow well, because it is not demanding about light. It is not that a plant that likes light must have sufficient light; it can do with a little scattered light, or even no light, and still grow well. So keeping a pot of pothos indoors at home is good for purifying the air and can also add a touch of green to the home!
