Know before you buy
No, the Neon Pothos is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
While it can tolerate lower light, the vibrant chartreuse color is most intense in bright, indirect light. In very dim corners, the leaves may lose some of their neon brightness and turn a deeper green.
Because of its natural vining habit, the plant will eventually grow long, trailing stems. To encourage a bushier appearance, regularly prune the long vines just above a leaf node to stimulate new growth closer to the base.
This plant prefers consistent moisture but is not drought-tolerant. Water it when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
The Neon Pothos does best with moderate humidity, which is typical for most indoor environments. It is quite adaptable, but if your home is exceptionally dry, you may notice the leaf tips browning slightly.
