Lemon Lime Pothos

Introducing the stunning Lemon Lime Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), which is known for its neon-yellow leaves.

Why will I love it?

You’ll be enchanted by the Lemon Lime Pothos with its electrifying, neon-yellow foliage that brightens up any room. This cultivar adds a pop of color and a modern flair to your space while being incredibly easy to care for, making it a perfect choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts who want a low-maintenance yet striking plant.

Light or shade?

The Lemon Lime Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vivid leaf color. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the neon hue may become less intense. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A well-lit room with filtered sunlight is ideal for this lively plant.

Where should I put it?

With its trailing vines, the Lemon Lime Pothos is perfect for hanging baskets, allowing its vibrant foliage to cascade beautifully. It can also be placed on shelves or in pots on tabletops, where its unique color can be showcased. Its adaptability makes it suitable for a variety of indoor settings.

How do I keep it alive?

Caring for your Lemon Lime Pothos is straightforward. Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. During the growing season, spring to summer, you can feed it with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. It thrives in a warm environment, ideally between 18-24°C (65-75°F), and appreciates average humidity levels.
