Epipremnum aureum Neon

Common Name:
Neon Pothos

Description:
Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' is a vibrant and eye-catching variety of pothos known for its striking, chartreuse to electric lime-green leaves that instantly brighten any space. The heart-shaped foliage emerges in vivid neon tones and holds its colour well in a range of lighting conditions, making it a standout feature in hanging baskets, cascading shelves, or climbing supports. In Melbourne, Neon Pothos is best grown indoors in bright, indirect light, though it will tolerate lower light situations with slightly slower growth. This tropical vine is extremely low-maintenance, thriving in well-draining soil and requiring only moderate watering—allowing the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between drinks. Its fast-growing, trailing or climbing habit and forgiving nature make it perfect for beginners, while its intense colour provides high visual impact in indoor greenery arrangements.
