Epipremnum Aureum 'Neon Queen'

Origin

A variegated cultivar of Epipremnum aureum, whose wild species ancestors originate from the Soloman Islands and French Polynesia. In tropical rainforests, it climbs trees as an epiphytic vine under warm, humid canopies.

Air Purifying

Highly efficient air purifier capable of trapping dust and filtering pollutants like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. It releases fresh oxygen and boosts local room humidity to keep surrounding air fresh.

Toxicity

Toxic to pets and humans due to insoluble calcium oxalate crystals found in all parts of the plant. Ingestion causes immediate mouth irritation, excessive drooling, and digestive distress.

Watering

Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out between waterings before giving it a thorough soak. Its thick stems are drought-tolerant, so it far prefers slight underwatering over wet, oxygen-deprived soil.

Light and Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light which powers its electric neon color and dark green variegation streaks. In lower light, the bright chartreuse pigment fades into a dull olive green.

Nutrition

Feed once a month during spring and summer using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Pause feeding completely in winter to avoid fertilizer salt build-up in the soil.

Repotting

Repot every 1 to 2 years in spring into an airy, well-draining soil mix blended with perlite and peat or coco coir. Ensure the pot has functional bottom drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Pruning and Flowering

Snip trailing vines just above a leaf node to push fresh, bushy growth higher up the stems. Cut stems root rapidly in water, making it effortless to propagate new starter plants.

Illness

Pest-resistant overall, though mealybugs and spider mites can occasionally appear in dry air. Yellowing leaves across the entire vine are a sure sign of overwatering and soggy roots.
