Neon Pothos · Epipremnum aureum 'Neon'
Also known as: Neon Pothos, Neon Golden Pothos
Grow Neon Pothos in bright indirect light for the most vibrant leaf color; lower light will result in greener leaves. Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as a blend of loam and peat. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry, avoiding waterlogging which can cause root rot. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season (spring to summer). Maintain temperatures above 15 °C; protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops. This plant thrives in average household humidity but appreciates occasional misting.
Neon Pothos is generally healthy but may suffer from root rot if overwatered. Fungal leaf spot can occur in overly humid conditions with poor air circulation.
Common pests include mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects. Regularly inspect the undersides of leaves and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if infestation occurs.
