Epipremnum aureum 'Njoy'
pothos ( syn. Scindapsus 'N' Joy )
- Position: bright filtered or indirect light
- Soil: good potting compost
- Rate of growth: average
- Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
- Current height: approximately 15cm (+ or - 10% including the pot)
- Pot cover: choose a 14cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot
The leaves of this trailing pothos are variously patterned with rich green and cream, and they form on lax stems that cascade down over the edges of the pot. An ideal plant for the novice, it tolerates a degree of neglect and even puts up with a bit of shade - although the leaf variegations will become less pronounced if it's kept in a darker corner.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Water relatively freely when in active growth, making sure the compost dries out in-between, but keep drier in winter. Avoid draughts and mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity. Every so often put it under a cold shower to clean the leaves and pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth. Make sure the winter temperatures stay above 10°C and repot every couple of years.
