Notes
'Neon' pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Neon') is a trailing vine for containers, shade gardens, and indoor spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. Its solid bright chartreuse foliage brightens dark corners, and it is easy for beginners. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Holly fern, Gryphon begonia, and Wild ginger.
