Know before you buy
This variety thrives in bright, indirect light. Providing adequate light is essential to keep the golden-yellow variegation vibrant; if the plant is kept in too much shade, the leaves may revert to a solid green.
No, the Pothos 'Lemon Meringue' is not pet-safe. It contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation or discomfort if ingested by pets.
While it is generally easy to care for, this variety prefers higher humidity levels to thrive. You can boost humidity by placing it near a humidifier, grouping it with other plants, or keeping it in a naturally humid room like a bathroom.
The plant arrives fully potted in a 6-inch container with appropriate soil, so no immediate repotting is necessary. When you eventually do repot, use a well-draining indoor potting mix to prevent root rot.
The 'Lemon Meringue' has a medium growth rate. As a vining plant, it will gradually trail over the edges of its pot, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or high shelves.
