Monthly watering with pure distilled or reverse-osmosis water is beneficial for golden pothos vine because it flushes unsightly salt buildup from potting-soil fertilizers that could damage the roots of the houseplant. Watering with only pure water could lead to micro-nutrient deficiencies unless a fertilizer with micro-nutrients is used regularly.
