Why will I love it?
The Neon Pothos, scientifically known as Epipremnum aureum ‘Neon’, is a standout with its bold, chartreuse foliage that instantly adds a pop of color to your indoor garden. Its striking neon leaves are not only visually stunning but also incredibly easy to care for, making it perfect for both beginner and seasoned plant enthusiasts.

Light or shade?
Neon Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant color. However, it’s quite adaptable and can tolerate lower light conditions, though its leaves may become a bit darker. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the leaves to scorch. A spot near an east or north-facing window is ideal for keeping this plant happy and healthy.
Where should I put it?
This versatile plant can be placed in a variety of indoor settings. Its trailing vines make it perfect for hanging baskets, where it can cascade beautifully. Alternatively, let it climb up a trellis or place it on a shelf where its vibrant leaves can spill over the edges. Its adaptability allows it to thrive in almost any room, adding a cheerful touch wherever it grows.
How do I keep it alive?
Caring for a Neon Pothos is a breeze. Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring you don’t let it sit in soggy soil. A well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes are essential to prevent root rot. This plant is quite forgiving and can handle varying humidity levels, but it appreciates a bit of extra humidity, so consider occasional misting. Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Feed it with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the growing season to support its vigorous growth.
