Bright, Electric Foliage That Lights Up Any Room
Vivid Chartreuse Color and Lush, Trailing Growth
Neon Pothos is a standout houseplant loved for its striking lime-green foliage that glows in natural and artificial light. Unlike standard pothos varieties, Neon Pothos produces bold, luminescent leaves that pop against neutral décor and instantly refresh indoor spaces.
The vines grow quickly and gracefully, cascading down from shelves, mantels, plant stands, or hanging baskets. Each new leaf emerges brilliant and fresh, creating an ever-evolving display of color and movement that makes spaces feel lively and full of energy.
Works With Every Interior Style
Neon Pothos blends seamlessly into modern, minimalist, tropical, bohemian, and contemporary design styles. Its glowing color adds warmth and vibrancy without overwhelming the space. Whether you want a plant that creates a cozy nook, brightens an office, or adds natural contrast to darker furniture, this plant fits the role beautifully.
Effortless Care for Beginners and Plant Collectors Alike
Thrives in Low to Medium Light
Neon Pothos adapts exceptionally well to indoor light conditions — from bright, indirect light to lower-light interior rooms. In brighter locations, leaves take on an even more intense neon color; in lower light, they soften slightly while retaining a lush, full look.
This adaptability makes Neon Pothos one of the best houseplants for apartments, offices, hallways, and shaded living spaces where other plants may struggle.
Naturally Air-Purifying and Low Maintenance
Neon Pothos is known for improving indoor air quality by circulating and filtering stagnant air. It requires minimal watering and thrives with simple, consistent care — making it perfect for both new plant parents and busy households. Its trailing vines can be left to cascade freely or trained to climb for a stunning vertical display.

How to Care for Neon Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Neon’)
Be sure to read our planting instructions to ensure a healthy and happy Neon Pothos plant for years to come!
How should I plant Neon Pothos?
Use a pot with drainage holes and a light, well-draining indoor potting mix. Keep the top of the root ball level with the soil surface when repotting. Water thoroughly to settle the soil and place in a well-lit spot with indirect light. If you want trailing growth, allow vines to cascade freely. If you want larger leaves and fuller shape, provide a small trellis or pole — pothos will climb naturally.
How often should I water Neon Pothos after planting?
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. During active growth seasons, it may need more frequent watering. Always empty drainage trays to avoid soggy soil. In winter or in lower light, reduce watering slightly. Leaves may droop gently when thirsty — a helpful built-in reminder that makes pothos especially beginner-friendly.
When should I fertilize Neon Pothos?
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength. This supports faster vine growth and vibrant leaf color. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth naturally slows.
When and how should I prune Neon Pothos?
Prune trailing stems to maintain shape or encourage branching. Make cuts just above leaf nodes — this prompts new growth and fuller vines. Trim yellow or older leaves as needed. Cuttings root easily in water, making propagation fun and simple.
