🌿 Epipremnum Aureum / Pothos Neon Care Guide :
☀️ Light Requirements
Neon Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to medium to low light.
In bright light, the leaves develop their signature neon glow.
In low light, they may turn a darker green and lose some brightness.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and cause brown patches.
For best color and healthy growth, place your plant near a bright window filtered by a sheer curtain — an east or north-facing window is ideal.
🌡️ Temperature and Humidity
Epipremnum aureum ‘Neon’ prefers warm indoor temperatures between 18°C and 30°C. It’s a true tropical plant and does not tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 12°C.
As for humidity, it enjoys 50–70%, but it also tolerates normal household levels. To boost humidity during dry months, mist the leaves occasionally or place the pot on a tray filled with water and pebbles.
💧 Watering
Watering is simple but crucial for keeping your Pothos healthy. The plant likes the soil to be slightly moist, but not soggy.
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.
Avoid letting the pot sit in water, as this causes root rot.
In winter, reduce watering frequency since the plant’s growth slows down.
If leaves droop slightly, it’s a gentle sign the plant needs water — it usually perks up within hours after watering.
🌱 Soil
Neon Pothos grows best in light, well-draining soil. A perfect potting mix includes:
1 part garden soil or coco peat
1 part compost or vermicompost
1 part perlite or coarse sand for aeration
This combination keeps the roots healthy by retaining moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely. Using a pot with drainage holes is essential.
🌸 Fertilizing
Feed your Pothos Neon during the growing season (spring through early autumn) for lush growth and vibrant leaves.
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20) every 2–3 weeks, diluted to half strength.
Alternatively, use slow-release organic granules every two months.
Do not fertilize during winter when growth slows.
Overfeeding can lead to fertilizer burn or salt build-up, so flush the soil occasionally with plain water.
✂️ Pruning and Maintenance
Regular pruning keeps your Pothos Neon full and attractive.
Trim long, leggy vines to encourage branching.
Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to promote new growth.
You can train it to climb a moss pole for larger leaves, or let it trail gracefully from a hanging pot.
Cleaning the leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth helps maintain their glow and improves photosynthesis.
🌿 Propagation
Propagation is one of the easiest and most rewarding aspects of caring for Pothos Neon.
Cut a healthy vine below a node (where a leaf joins the stem).
Place the cutting in water or a moist potting mix.
Roots develop within 2–3 weeks.
Once the roots are 3–5 cm long, transplant into a pot with fresh soil.
You can keep multiple cuttings in one pot for a fuller plant.
🐛 Common Problems and Pests
Yellow leaves: Usually from overwatering. Check drainage.
Brown tips: Caused by low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Pale leaves: Not enough light or nutrients.
Pests: Occasionally, you might see mealybugs or spider mites. Wipe with neem oil or insecticidal soap every few weeks to prevent infestations.
