Neon Pothos, also known as Epipremnum aureum ‘Neon’, is a vibrant and eye-catching variety of pothos prized for its bright, glowing foliage. Here’s an overview:
Overview
- Common Name: Neon Pothos
- Family: Araceae
Characteristics
- Leaves: Neon Pothos features heart-shaped leaves that are a bright, almost fluorescent lime green. The vivid color adds a cheerful pop to any indoor space and can stand out beautifully against other plants.
- Growth Habit: This variety is a trailing plant, making it ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a climber with support. It can grow several feet long, depending on care and conditions.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant color. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the leaves may lose some brightness and vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as pothos are sensitive to overwatering.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate humidity but can adapt to typical household humidity levels. If your environment is particularly dry, consider misting the leaves or using a humidity tray.
- Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a standard houseplant mix. Adding perlite can improve drainage.
Fertilization
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.
Propagation
Neon Pothos can be propagated through:
- Stem Cuttings: Take cuttings with a few leaves and nodes, placing them in water or directly in soil until they root.
- Division: During repotting, you can divide the plant into smaller sections if it has grown large enough.
Benefits
- Air Purification: Like other pothos varieties, Neon Pothos helps improve indoor air quality by filtering out common toxins.
Notes
- Toxicity: Neon Pothos is mildly toxic if ingested, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of pets and young children.
