Epipremnum Neon

probuket

Epipremnum Neon is a striking vine with bright lime-green leaves that stand out against other greenery. The heart-shaped, slightly glossy leaves grow on long, flexible stems. Young leaves are lighter, and as they mature, the shade becomes richer but remains lemon-green. The plant looks equally good in a hanging pot, where the stems hang freely downward, and on a stand, from which the vines cascade beautifully. It will appeal to those who appreciate low-maintenance greenery and want to add a bright accent to their interior.

You can place the epipremnum on an east or west window with soft, diffused light. With insufficient lighting, the leaves lose their intense color and become paler, while direct sunlight causes burns. The plant thrives in partial shade, so it is suitable for rooms with north-facing windows. In warm weather, the pot can be taken out to the balcony, protecting it from drafts and scorching sun.

Water when the top layer of soil dries out by a couple of centimeters. Overwatering is harmful to the roots, so excess water is drained from the saucer. In summer, water more frequently; in winter, less often, guided by the condition of the soil. Wipe the leaves periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust. Epipremnum Neon makes a fitting gift for a housewarming or for decorating a home office.
