Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' – 'Neon' Pothos

The Epipremnum aureum 'Neon', or 'Neon' Pothos, electrifies any room with its uniquely coloured foliage. Native to the Solomon Islands, this easy-going plant features long, vining stems with heart-shaped leaves in an almost fluorescent lime green. It instantly brings a vibrant atmosphere and a touch of tropical energy, making it ideal for brightening up the dimmer spaces in your home.

Characteristics

• Foliage: Its evergreen, heart-shaped leaves display a spectacular, solid chartreuse colour. The vibrancy of the colour is at its peak in good light.
• Light: It thrives in bright, indirect light. It also tolerates medium light, though its leaves might take on a slightly darker shade.
• Habit: The plant has a magnificent trailing habit, perfect for hanging baskets. It can also be trained to climb a support or moss pole.
• Growth: Its growth is fast, with its vines capable of growing several feet in a single season.
• Humidity: It adapts very well to normal household humidity but appreciates a slightly more humid environment if possible.
• Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix for indoor plants to ensure good root aeration.
• Temperature: The ideal temperature is between 18°C and 29°C. Protect it from cold drafts.
• Watering: Allow the top third of the soil to dry out between waterings. The 'Neon' Pothos is very tolerant and easily forgives neglect.
• Resistances: This plant is particularly resistant to drought. It is not very susceptible to pests and diseases.

Use

• Types of Use: It is spectacular in a hanging container, on top of a bookshelf where its vines can cascade, or in a pot on a desk for a pop of bright colour.
• Decorative Benefits: Its lime-green foliage creates a bright and bold focal point. In addition to its beauty, the Pothos is known for its excellent air-purifying qualities.

Care

• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced indoor plant fertilizer once a month from spring to autumn to support its vigorous growth.
• Pruning: Pinch the tips of the vines to encourage the plant to branch out, promoting denser, more compact foliage.
• Repotting: Repot your Pothos every one to two years, or when you notice roots growing out of the drainage pot.
