🌿 Jade Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Jade’)

The Jade Pothos is the minimalist’s dream 🌿 deep green, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that bring pure, classic tropical energy into any space. Unlike its variegated cousins, the Jade’s solid emerald color makes it one of the most resilient and fast-growing pothos varieties. In kokedama form, it creates lush, trailing greenery that radiates calm and timeless simplicity.

• Thrives in medium to bright indirect light, but is extremely tolerant of low light.
• Perfect for offices, bathrooms, or shaded corners where other plants struggle.
• Avoid strong direct sun, which can dull or burn the leaf surface.
• In lower light, expect slower growth but deep, rich color.

• Water when the moss feels light or dry, typically every 7–10 days.
• Use about 1 cup of water, allowing it to soak evenly.
• Rotate the kokedama during watering for even root hydration.
• Mist occasionally to maintain humidity and keep leaves dust-free.
• Jade Pothos are more forgiving of missed waterings than overwatering.

💡 Tip: Slightly drooping leaves are the best indicator your kokedama is ready for a drink 💧 they’ll perk up within hours.

• Feed monthly during spring and summer with a ¼-strength balanced fertilizer.
• No need to fertilize in fall or winter when growth slows.
• Consistent light feeding keeps growth lush and encourages strong trailing stems.

• Ideal range: 65–85 °F (18–29 °C).
• Handles normal household humidity well, but thrives in 40–70%.
• Keep away from cold drafts or air conditioners 🌡 they can stunt new growth.

• Naturally fast-growing; prune to shape or encourage fuller vines.
• Rotate occasionally for even light exposure.
• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to maintain that glossy emerald shine.
• Can remain in kokedama form for 10–14 months before refreshing or rewrapping.

Rewrap or repot when:

• Moss feels compacted or dries unevenly.
• Roots begin to show through the surface.
• Growth slows despite regular care.

If potting conventionally, use a well-aerated mix of perlite, coco coir, and bark.

The Jade Pothos is one of the original cultivars of Epipremnum aureum and often called the “foundation plant” for modern indoor tropicals. It’s even used in NASA’s air purification studies, proving both beautiful and functional in any setting.
