N'Joy Pothos

Also known as: Devil's Ivy, Golden Pothos, Money Plant

Epipremnum aureum 'N'Joy' is a variegated cultivar of the classic Devil's Ivy, with heart-shaped leaves splashed in creamy white and green. Each leaf exhibits a unique pattern of white patches or margins, creating a striking contrast. This vigorous climber or trailer can reach up to 1.5 metres indoors, making it ideal for hanging baskets or training up a moss pole. Its compact growth habit and bright variegation are the main ornamental features, adding a fresh, modern look to interior spaces.

N'Joy Pothos care guide

Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry, then water thoroughly until excess drains out.
Watering: Bright indirect light
Sunlight: 18 – 27 °C
Ideal temperature

Watering

Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry, then water thoroughly until excess drains out.

Fertilizing

Every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).

Pruning

Prune in spring or early summer to control growth and promote bushiness: cut back leggy stems to just above a leaf node. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves as needed.

Propagation

Propagate easily from stem cuttings. Take a cutting 10-15 cm long with at least one node and a few leaves, remove the lowest leaf, and place in water or moist potting mix. Rooting occurs within 2-4 weeks at 20-25°C. Once roots are 2-3 cm long, pot up into a small container with standard potting compost.

Growing

Grow Epipremnum aureum 'N'Joy' in a well-drained potting mix, such as a blend of loam and peat. Water thoroughly only when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in winter. Provide bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation; direct sun may scorch leaves while too little light causes the white areas to fade. Fertilise every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a balanced houseplant fertiliser. Avoid temperatures below 12°C, as this can cause leaf damage. Repot every 1-2 years in spring if root-bound.

Diseases

Moderately susceptible to root rot if overwatered or poor drainage. Leaf spot diseases may occur in overly humid conditions. Ensure good airflow and avoid wet foliage.

Pests

Occasionally attacked by spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects, especially in dry indoor conditions. Wipe leaves regularly and treat promptly with insecticidal soap if detected.
