Pothos 'Neon' is a striking cultivar of Epipremnum aureum, a tropical vining plant native to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. Beloved as one of the most popular easy care houseplants around, this chartreuse trailing plant has earned a permanent spot on windowsills, shelves, and hanging hooks in homes and offices worldwide.
What sets Pothos 'Neon' apart is its electrifying, uniform chartreuse-yellow foliage that almost seems to glow under indoor lighting. The heart-shaped leaves are smooth and waxy, growing to a generous size on long, flexible vines that drape beautifully or climb with support. Unlike variegated pothos varieties, every leaf on Pothos 'Neon' delivers the same vivid, saturated color with no exceptions.
Pothos 'Neon' rarely, if ever, blooms in typical indoor conditions, so its foliage is very much the main event. Worth noting, though, is that this bright green houseplant is a natural air purifier, actively filtering formaldehyde and other indoor toxins while gently humidifying the air around it. That combination of beauty and function makes Pothos 'Neon' genuinely hard to beat as a living interior accent.
Pothos 'Neon' is a joy to live with day to day. It thrives near the natural moisture of a kitchen, looks spectacular cascading from a hanging basket, and can even move outside for summer as long as it is sheltered from direct rain and harsh afternoon sun. Cats, dogs, and small children should be kept away from the foliage and sap, so a high shelf or hanging hook well out of reach is the ideal placement. As a low maintenance houseplant that visibly wilts to signal thirst and bounces back after a ten-day trip without a sitter, Pothos 'Neon' is equally loved by beginners and seasoned collectors.

Pothos 'Neon' thrives in bright indirect light but adapts well to low light, including office LEDs, though it scorches near south-facing windows.
Water Pothos 'Neon' thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, roughly every 7-10 days, and always wait for visible wilting as your cue.
Pothos 'Neon' does best in a well-draining, airy potting mix of standard houseplant soil blended with perlite to prevent waterlogging.
Pothos 'Neon' prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and should never be exposed to frost or prolonged chill below 50°F (10°C).

Pothos 'Neon' is a vigorous vining indoor plant that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
Pothos 'Neon' is rated for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12, where temperatures stay reliably above 30-35°F (-1 to 1.7°C) year-round. Gardeners growing Pothos 'Neon' outdoors will find suitable climates in Hawaii, southern Florida, coastal and southern California, southern Texas, southern Arizona, and parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. Pockets of Zone 10 along the coasts of Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, as well as sheltered microclimates in Nevada and coastal Oregon, may also support outdoor cultivation with some seasonal protection.
