Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a classic houseplant, but the varieties look completely different from each other. Here is a quick guide to the favourites.
Golden Pothos
The original: green leaves with golden-yellow streaks. Very fast and tolerant of low light.
Marble Queen
Creamy white and green marbled leaves. It needs brighter light to keep its white variegation, and grows slightly slower than Golden.
Neon Pothos
Bright lime-green leaves that glow even in medium light. It is great for adding colour to a darker room.
Manjula
Patented variety with wavy leaves in green, cream, silver and white. It grows slowly and compactly, making it a collector favourite.
Njoy and Pearls and Jade
Njoy has clean green and white patches on small leaves. Pearls and Jade is a smaller, compact variety with fine marbling.
Care is the same for all
- Bright to medium indirect light; more light means more variegation.
- Water when the top few centimetres are dry.
- Average household humidity is fine.
- Prune regularly for fuller vines and root the trimmed pieces.
