Epipremnum Aureum Neon – Golden Neon Pothos

Epipremnum aureum Neon is a wonderfully vibrant variety of Golden Pothos, with bright chartreuse yellow leaves with no variegation. Golden Pothos is valued for its air-purifying qualities and tolerance of lower light levels. It looks best displayed as a hanging plant.

Other common names include Devils Ivy, Ivy Arum and Ceylon Creeper. Latin synonyms are Epipremnum pinnatum Aureum (mainly US and Canada), Scindapsus aureus (Europe) or Phaphidophora aureu (previous botanical name).

Please note the Neon is more prone to minor leaf damage and blemishes than Golden Pothos.

Horty Hints

Sunlight keeping it bright! Has the fluorescent foliage on this Pothos gone green? A seat near the sun will bring back its bright yellow colouring.

Will Wane When Wet! These plants don’t like too much water. If you notice leaves yellowing, tipping or leaf spotting, make sure the soil is dry to the touch before watering again.

Iron out the Kinks! This plant’s leaves will curl when its thirsty. A little water will go a long way, however if you are watering and the plant still curls, it could be a root rot issue.
