💚 Neon Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Neon’)

The Neon Pothos is a showstopper with its vivid, electric-lime leaves that keep their glow year-round. A tropical trailing vine native to the Solomon Islands and Southeast Asia, it’s prized for its bold, chartreuse color and forgiving nature. Whether cascading from a shelf or brightening a dim corner, this kokedama variety brings instant light and life to any space.

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vivid neon color.
• Can tolerate moderate light but may fade to a duller green in lower light.
• Avoid direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaf edges.
• Best placement: near an east or north window or several feet back from a bright southern exposure.

• Water when the moss feels light, dry, or pale, roughly every 7–9 days depending on humidity.
• Pour about 1 cup of water, letting it soak evenly through the moss ball.
• Rotate during watering so all roots stay hydrated.
• Mist lightly once or twice a week to maintain humidity and keep the moss lush.
• Avoid prolonged soaking or standing water to prevent root rot.

💡 Tip: If new leaves lose their shine or edges brown, it’s a sign the moss is staying too dry between waterings.

• Feed monthly in spring and summer with a ¼-strength balanced houseplant fertilizer.
• Skip feeding in cooler months when growth slows.
• Consistent, light feeding helps preserve the neon hue.

• Prefers 65–85 °F (18–29 °C) and medium humidity (40–60%).
• Enjoys being grouped near other tropicals or lightly misted plants.
• Keep away from heat vents or cold drafts — temperature fluctuations fade color and stress roots.

• Fast-growing and easy to shape — trim long vines to encourage a fuller ball.
• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep that bright, glassy finish.
• Rotate every few weeks for balanced trailing.
• Can remain in kokedama form for 10–14 months before rewrapping or repotting.

Rewrap or repot when:

• Roots emerge through the moss or ball feels firm and root-bound.
• Moss dries too quickly or no longer holds moisture evenly.
• Growth slows despite proper light and water.

If repotting, use a chunky tropical mix of coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark for breathability.

The Neon Pothos is a naturally occurring color mutation of the Golden Pothos. Its unmissable chartreuse glow adds vibrancy even in low-light spaces and makes it one of the most photogenic plants in any collection.
