Common names: Neon Pothos

Plant type: Tropical perennial vine

Family: Araceae

Native range: Southeast Asia and the Solomon Islands

Natural habitat: Tropical forests, where it grows as a climbing or trailing plant along tree trunks and forest floors

Difficulty level: Beginner friendly

How to care for your Neon Pothos

LIGHT
It can survive in low light, but grows faster in bright indirect light.

WATER
Water it 2 times a week. Wait until the top substrate is dry

HUMIDITY
It grows well in low humidity, but high humidity between 40% and 60% will allow the plant to thrive and grow. .

TEMPERATURE
It prefers temperatures of 65 to 85 degrees.

FOOD
It likes to be fed monthly or every other month with a general houseplant fertilizer.

PET-FRIENDLYNESS
Pothos are harmful to pets. Digestion of this plant will cause irritation


Additional Tips*
This plant will benefit from a moss support or a coconut fiber support. Any type of support that can contribute to its growth pattern will help this plant reach maturity.

When this plant reaches maturity it tends to fenestrate.

This plant becomes semi dormant in winter so it will loose some leaves. Dont worry about it; it will bounce back on spring.

Use a well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of coconut fiber, perlite, pine bark, and activated charcoal. This ensures good aeration and prevents excess humidity.

Common Issues for your Pothos

  • Leggy Growth

    Long stems with large spaces between leaves usually mean the plant is reaching for light. Move it closer to a bright, indirect light source and prune long vines.

  • Low Coloration

    Leaves may lose their vibrant colors or patterns and gradually turn more green due to changes in light, plant maturity, or natural reversion. Move the plant to brighter indirect light and monitor new growth for its normal coloration.

  • Crispy Leaf Edges

    Brown, crispy edges can come from dry conditions, inconsistent watering, or environmental stress. Keep watering consistent and increase humidity if the air is very dry.

  • Few Holes

    Young Epiprenums leaves naturally have few or no fenestrations. Give the plant plenty of bright indirect light and allow it to mature. Bigger leaves will develop more holes.

  • Droopy Leaves

    Drooping usually means the plant is thirsty or experiencing environmental stress. Check the soil and water thoroughly if the top portion feels dry.

  • Yellow Leaves

    Yellow leaves are commonly caused by excess moisture or naturally aging foliage. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings and remove heavily yellowed leaves.
