# I was gifted this Golden potho a bit over a year ago and have given…

_Posted by Brianne🌈🌿 on 2025-06-21_

I was gifted this Golden potho a bit over a year ago and have given her some well needed TLC and love .. As she started growing more leaves iv noticed that the new growth has ALOT more variegation and the leaves are way larger in size than iv ever seen from this plant before. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is it possible that this bunch of pothos are 2 different types or is she just showing more variegation because she’s being treated better than her previous home?  
Also if it is two different types , what type of potho is it ?  
Here are some before and after pics for reference

It’s likely a combination of more light (leads to variegation) and more attention. Keep it up, she looks very happy!

This happened to my pothos. The leaves were solid green for years and it was pretty neglected. As my interest in indoor plants grew and it got healthier as a result there are variegated leaves popping out.

It’s the same plant just showing more variegation it’s a golden pothos
