Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its signature neon-green color will fade to a darker green if it doesn't receive enough brightness.
No, the Neon Pothos is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept on high shelves or in hanging baskets where curious animals cannot reach the trailing vines.
It is a vigorous grower. With proper care and adequate light, you can expect it to produce new leaves and extend its vines relatively quickly during the spring and summer growing seasons.
It prefers medium humidity but is quite adaptable to average household conditions. You do not need to worry about misting or using a humidifier unless your home is exceptionally dry.
Absolutely. Pruning is actually encouraged to keep the plant looking full and bushy. You can snip the vines back to your desired length, and the plant will often branch out from the cut point.
