Pothos 'Neon'

Pothos ‘Neon’ (Epipremnum aureum ‘Neon’) is a vibrant, eye-catching variety known for its electric green foliage that seems to glow in any space. 

Native to French Polynesia, this fast-growing trailing plant is beloved for both its striking color and its easy-going nature, perfect for shelves, hanging baskets, or climbing up a moss pole.

Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vivid chartreuse color. It can tolerate medium to low light, though growth may slow and the color may become slightly less intense. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water
Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings, typically every 7–10 days depending on your environment. 

Neon Pothos prefers to dry slightly between waterings and is more forgiving of underwatering than overwatering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering, while wilting can signal thirst.

Pet Safe
No, Pothos ‘Neon’ is toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Like other pothos varieties, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause mouth irritation and gastrointestinal upset. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

Watch out for…
Low light can lead to leggier growth and smaller leaves. Prune regularly to encourage fullness and trailing density. While generally hardy, keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites and mealybugs, particularly in dry indoor air.
