Epipremnum aureum

Toxic to pets
Golden Pothos
Light
anything from low light to bright indirect. Variegation is stronger in brighter spots and fades toward plain green in dim ones
Water
let the top inch or two dry out completely. It droops visibly when thirsty and perks up within a few hours: the most forgiving plant on this list
Toxicity
toxic to dogs and cats (ASPCA): insoluble calcium oxalates cause oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of the mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing. Also poisonous to people (NC State Extension, medium severity); the sap can irritate skin

Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control; NC State Extension Plant Toolbox.
