Neon Pothos

Neon Pothos Care Guide

Light

Neon Pothos thrives in medium to bright indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may lose some of its vibrant coloration. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves and cause them to fade.

Water

Water the Neon Pothos when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. During winter or cooler months, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows down.

Humidity

Maintain moderate humidity levels, ideally between 40-60%. Use a humidifier or pebble tray to increase humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.

Temperature

Keep the Neon Pothos in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizer

Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Skip fertilizing in winter.

Toxicity

Neon Pothos is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, throat, and digestive system. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children.

Additional Care Information

Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure proper drainage and aeration for the roots. Prune the Neon Pothos regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushy growth. Neon Pothos can be propagated easily through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem below a leaf node and place it in water or moist soil to root.

Troubleshooting

Yellow Leaves: Indicates overwatering or underwatering. Adjust your watering routine and check soil moisture. Leaf Drooping: Usually a sign of overwatering or root rot. Check the roots for signs of rot and adjust your watering routine. Pest Infestation: Neon Pothos can be susceptible to common houseplant pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
