description: Water pollution caused by heavy metals such as copper (Cu) poses a major   environmental concern due to its toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative nature. Phytoremediation offers an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and practical approach for mitigating heavy metal contamination. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of two pothos varieties, golden pothos and lemon pothos, in remediating Cu-contaminated water through a hydroponic system over a 21-day period. The research was conducted from April to June 2025 using a factorial Randomized Block Design consisting of two factors: plant variety and seven concentrations of CuSO₄.5H₂O (0–150 mg/L). The observed parameters included plant growth, solution pH, Cu concentration before and after phytoremediation,   absorption effectiveness, and morphological changes.The results indicated that both pothos varieties were capable of reducing Cu concentrations in the solution, demonstrating their potential as phytoremediators. However, statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between golden pothos and lemon pothos in their Cu absorption effectiveness. Both varieties exhibited similar response patterns across all concentration levels tested. Additionally, no interaction was found between plant variety and Cu concentration, suggesting that the absorption pattern remained consistent for both varieties under all treatments. These findings confirm   that pothos plants, regardless of variety, can serve as effective, accessible, and eco-friendly phytoremediators for reducing Cu levels in contaminated water.    Keywords: phytoremediation, pothos, copper (Cu), hydroponics, water pollution.
