4" Neon Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Neon')

Neon Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Neon') is a popular houseplant known for its bright, chartreuse green leaves. It is relatively easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of indoor environments. Here are detailed care instructions to help your Neon Pothos flourish:

 Light
- Bright, indirect light: Neon Pothos prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its vibrant color will be most pronounced in brighter light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering
- Moderate watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, letting the excess water drain out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
- Reduced watering in winter: During the winter months, water less frequently, as the plant's growth slows down.

Soil
- Well-draining soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a combination of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss works well.

Temperature and Humidity
- Moderate temperatures: Ideal temperatures range from 60-85°F (15-29°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
- Average humidity: Neon Pothos thrives in average indoor humidity levels. It can tolerate lower humidity but will benefit from occasional misting, especially in dry environments.

Fertilizing
- Regular feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Neon Pothos every 4-6 weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter.

Pruning
- Regular pruning: Prune to remove any yellow or damaged leaves and to control the plant's size and shape. Pruning encourages bushier growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.

Repotting
- Repot every 1-2 years: Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and refresh the soil.

Propagation
- Stem cuttings: Neon Pothos is easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Cut a section of the stem with at least one node and a few leaves, place it in water or directly into soil, and keep it in bright, indirect light until roots develop.

Pests and Problems
- Common pests: Watch for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Yellowing leaves: This can be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Check soil moisture levels and ensure the pot has drainage holes.
- Leggy growth: If the plant becomes leggy, it may be due to insufficient light. Move it to a brighter location or prune it to encourage bushier growth.

By following these care instructions, your Neon Pothos should remain healthy and vibrant, adding a splash of color to your indoor space.
