Know before you buy

No, this plant is toxic to pets and humans if ingested because it contains calcium oxalate crystals. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets or small children.
The Neon Pothos prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate lower light, providing bright, indirect light will help maintain the intensity of its vibrant, neon-colored foliage.
