10 Chic Houseplant Ideas to Style Your Home

5. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

The Plant That Basically Grows Itself

Let me tell you about my first houseplant love: the Pothos. I didn’t know anything about plants back then, but this one found its way into my tiny apartment in Seattle—and it never left. Well, technically it did… by spreading to every other room.

This trailing vine is so easygoing, so forgiving, and so dang pretty that I seriously think everyone should have at least one. Or five.

Hang It High or Let It Flow

One of the reasons I’m obsessed with Pothos is how versatile it is. You can stick it on a shelf and let those vines spill over, tuck it into a hanging basket for a boho vibe, or even train it up a moss pole if you’re feeling fancy.

I’ve got mine draped across a floating bookshelf in my living room, and it adds this lush, organic layer without taking up much space. Perfect for apartments or rooms that feel a little too structured.

Neon? Marble Queen? Golden? Yes, Please.

Here’s the fun part—Pothos come in so many cool varieties, each with its own personality. I’ve gone through phases: first it was the classic Marble Queen with its swirly white-and-green leaves, then I fell hard for Neon Pothos, which basically glows in low light like a secret plant superpower.

Now I’ve got a few Golden Pothos mixed in too—they’re the most common but also the toughest, making them perfect for beginners or anyone who forgets their plants exist for days (or weeks) at a time.

Thrives in Almost Any Light

Another reason I adore this plant? It thrives in a range of lighting conditions. From bright indirect light to surprisingly dim corners, the Pothos just keeps on growing.

Mine gets about two hours of morning sun through sheer curtains and does great. If yours starts stretching out too much or the leaves shrink in size, that’s a hint it wants more light—but it won’t die on you like some fussier greens.

Trim, Propagate, Repeat

One of the best things about Pothos care is how easy it is to trim and propagate. Seriously, snip off a piece, stick it in water, and within weeks—you’ve got a whole new plant. I’ve gifted dozens of baby Pothos to friends and still have more than I know what to do with.

And trimming isn’t just about sharing the green love—it keeps your plant full and bushy instead of leggy and sad. I usually give mine a quick haircut every couple of months, and it always bounces back stronger.
