Neon Pothos Care Guide
Also known as the Epipremnum aureum. The neon pothos is native to the Solomon Islands, Polynesian Islands and South East Asia.
LIGHTING 
The neon pothos can thrive in all types of lighting. Keep the neon pothos out of direct sunlight as any harsh sun will cause the foliage to wilt and die. Although the neon pothos is very low light tolerant, it will grow much faster in a brighter light. Lighting-wise, the neon pothos pairs perfectly with Bonnie the spider plant and Conrad the dumb cane.
WATERING 
The neon pothos is fairly drought tolerant and can go 2-3 weeks without water in the winter months. In the hotter months check the first few inches of soil twice a week and only water when it is dry. The neon pothos will start to curl or droop its leaves when it's ready for a drink.
HUMIDITY 
The neon pothos won’t object to a humid climate however high humidity levels aren’t essential to Flash’s survival. If you notice a few browning leaves it might be worth increasing the humidity in your home. Read our blog on increasing humidity to find out more.
TEMPERATURE 
The ideal temperature for the neon pothos is between 18ºC-24ºC. Keep Flash away from any draughts or radiators which will cause him unnecessary strain.
FERTILISER 
Use the fortifying fertiliser once every 3-4 weeks from March-September. Do not fertilise in the winter months while the plant is in dormancy.
REPOTTING 
The neon pothos is a very fast grower and can be left in its original pot for the first 12-18 months. Only repot the pothos when lots of roots are sticking out of the nursery pot holes.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR NEON POTHOS
Crispy brown leaves -The leaf tips may turn brown/crispy if the air is too dry. Place the neon pothos in a bathroom or on top of a pebble tray.
Curling leaves - The curling leaves are a sign that the neon pothos is ready for a drink. Feel the first few inches of soil and only water if they are dry.
