Epipremnum Aureum Neon

• Native to tropical regions and belongs to the popular pothos family, prized for its incredibly easy-care nature.
• Features brilliant chartreuse-yellow heart-shaped leaves that glow almost fluorescent in bright light, making it Instagram famous.
• Can climb or trail depending on support, with aerial roots that naturally grip surfaces like tree bark or moss poles.
• Considered one of NASA's top air-purifying plants, removing formaldehyde and other indoor pollutants effectively.

• Water weekly in summer, fortnightly in winter when top few centimetres of soil dry out completely.
• Place in bright, indirect light away from harsh afternoon sun which fades the vibrant neon colouring.
• Use well-draining potting mix with perlite or bark chips to prevent waterlogged roots.
• Feed monthly with liquid fertiliser during spring and summer growing season, none in winter.
• Trim long vines to maintain shape and propagate cuttings in water for new plants.
• Wipe leaves monthly with damp cloth to remove dust and maintain that glossy neon appearance.

• Provide bright, indirect light near east or north-facing windows but avoid direct sunlight which burns the delicate neon foliage.
• Water when top 2-3cm of soil feels dry, typically weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter.
• Maintain humidity above 50% by grouping plants together or using a humidifier, especially during Australian winters.
• Keep temperatures between 18-24°C and protect from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
• Pinch growing tips regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent excessive stretching.

• Spider mites appear in dry conditions causing fine webbing and yellowing leaves. Increase humidity and wipe leaves with damp cloth weekly.
• Root rot from overwatering causes black, mushy roots and yellowing leaves. Allow soil to dry between waterings and ensure good drainage.
• Aphids cluster on new growth causing sticky honeydew and curled leaves. Spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil solution.
• Brown leaf tips indicate low humidity or fluoride in tap water. Use filtered water and increase humidity around the plant.
