Low Light American Plant Exchange Neon Pothos, 6-Inch Pot, Bright Chartruse Foliage, Live Vining Houseplant
Overview
The Neon Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Neon') in a 6-inch nursery pot is a compact, live vining houseplant prized for intensely bright chartreuse foliage that instantly lifts interior color schemes. It’s an excellent choice for people who want a high-impact, low-effort plant: beginners, busy households, and anyone looking to add a vivid trailing accent to shelves, hanging baskets, or small plant walls. Neon Pothos grows quickly in the right conditions, is easy to propagate from cuttings, and tolerates lower light better than many variegated pothos—though the neon color shows best with bright, indirect light. Routine pruning and well-draining soil keep it healthy; note it’s a tropical, non-hardy plant and toxic to pets if chewed.
Key Features
- Botanical name and cultivar: Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' — recognized for chartreuse, non-variegated leaves.
- Container: 6-inch nursery pot (standard round plastic nursery pot) — ready to display or re-pot.
- Growth habit: vining/trailing houseplant; can trail several feet indoors and reach 6–10 ft on supports over time.
- Light and temperature: prefers bright, indirect light for best color but tolerates low to medium light; ideal temps 65–85°F (18–29°C).
- Water and soil: thrives in well-draining potting mix; water when top 1–2 inches of soil are dry to the touch to avoid root rot.
