The Pothos Jade Pearl, a cultivar of the Epipremnum aureum, originates from Southeast Asia. It shares lineage with other popular Pothos varieties like the Pothos Gold and Marble Queen. The Jade Pothos is loved for its green and creamy white variegated leaves, and of course, its easy-going lifestyle!
Why We Love It:
Plant parents adore the Pothos Jade Pearl for its low-maintenance nature and ability to thrive in various light conditions. Whether placed in a bright, indirect spot or a dim corner, this resilient plant adds a vibrant touch to any room. Plus, its trailing vines can be trained to climb or left to cascade gracefully, making it a great plant for window sills, book shelves, and hanging pots!
Care Tips for Success:
Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. No wonder it’s a winter favourite!
Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Pothos prefers slightly moist soil but can tolerate occasional drought. Forgetful plant parents please stand up...
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels. Regular misting or placing a humidifier nearby can help maintain optimal moisture levels.
