Pothos Neon

Epipremnum aureum 'Neon'

houseplant

Pothos Neon features striking lime-yellow or neon-green heart-shaped leaves that are bright and vibrant, especially on new growth. It's a slower grower than Golden or Marble Queen varieties but rewards careful placement with consistently bright foliage. This eye-catching cultivar is perfect for adding a pop of color to darker interior spaces without being too demanding.

Care Guide

light_mode

Light

Bright indirect light is critical to maintain the neon coloration; insufficient light results in duller, more greenish foliage. Avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves, but provide as much bright indirect light as possible.

water_drop

Water

Allow top 1-2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Water when soil feels dry to the touch. This variety is sensitive to overwatering; reduce watering frequency in winter months.

compost

Soil

Well-draining potting soil; mix peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark or use amended standard houseplant soil to ensure good drainage and aeration.

science

Fertiliser

Feed every 4-6 weeks during growing season (spring and summer) with diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Fertilize less frequently in fall and winter or hold off entirely.

thermometer

Temperature

Prefers warm conditions between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C) to prevent leaf drop and growth slowdown.
