Epipremnum aureum 'Neon', commonly known as the Neon Pothos, is a popular and easy-to-grow indoor vine known for its vibrant, chartreuse-green foliage. Unlike other Pothos varieties, which tend to have variegated or darker green leaves, the ‘Neon’ cultivar has solid, bright green, almost fluorescent leaves that give it a striking appearance. Its heart-shaped leaves emerge along vining stems that can trail or climb when given support, making it versatile for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises.
‘Neon’ Pothos is exceptionally hardy and adaptable, tolerating a variety of indoor conditions from low to bright light. Its tolerance for variable lighting and drought-resistance make it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking for a low-maintenance, high-impact indoor plant.
Native to Epipremnum aureum is native to the tropical rainforests of French Polynesia, where it grows as an understory plant, climbing trees or trailing along the forest floor in shaded, humid environments. This cultivated variety maintains similar adaptability to indoor conditions, thriving in filtered light with moderate moisture.
Water Water Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' when the top 2–3 cm of soil have dried out. It is moderately drought-tolerant, so avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. During the growing season, regular watering is beneficial, while in winter, it’s best to let the soil dry out a bit more between waterings.
Light This plant does best in bright, indirect light, which enhances its vibrant colour. It can also adapt to moderate to low light, although the foliage may become a darker shade of green in lower light settings. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as this can lead to leaf burn.
Humidity Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' tolerates typical indoor humidity levels but will benefit from moderate humidity, ideally around 40% to 60%. In particularly dry conditions, especially in winter, using a humidifier can help keep the foliage healthy and vibrant.
Temperature This plant thrives in typical indoor temperatures ranging from 18°C to 26°C. It does not tolerate cold well and should be kept away from temperatures below 12°C. Avoid placing it in drafty areas or near heat sources, as stable, warm temperatures are ideal for healthy growth.

About Neon Pothos
Epipremnum Aureum 'Neon' is an easy-care houseplant. It needs bright indirect light, watering once the top 2 to 3cm of compost has dried out, a little extra humidity and a minimum temperature of 18°C. It is harmful to pets and small children if eaten.
No, this plant isn't pet safe. It can be harmful or cause irritation if chewed, so keep it out of reach of cats and dogs. If you think your pet has eaten any, ring your vet straight away.
We aim to avoid using pesticides where possible, but we can't control the whole supply chain.
If the plant is going into a vivarium, terrarium or aquarium with live animals, rinse the leaves and roots well, remove any soil and let the plant dry out before adding it. We'd also suggest keeping it away from animals for a month first.
Can I see a photo of the exact plant I'll receive?
We're not able to send photos of individual plants or let you choose a specific one, as plants are selected by our team when your order is packed. Our photos show the variety and the kind of plant you can expect, and yours may vary a little in height, shape or fullness.
If a size has a code next to it, such as 9cm / B2, you're buying the exact plant pictured.
Does my plant come with a pot?
Your plant will arrive in its nursery grow pot — the plastic pot it's been growing in. We don't include a decorative pot as standard, and there's a good reason for that: it means you get to choose one that fits your space and style, rather than being stuck with something that doesn't suit your home.
It also means you're not paying extra for a pot you might not want. The nursery pot is perfectly fine to keep your plant in for a while, just pop it inside a decorative cover pot or cache pot and you're good to go. When you're ready to repot (usually after a growing season or when roots start poking out the bottom), you can move it into something more permanent with fresh soil.
If you're not sure what size cover pot to go for, check the pot selector tool listed above, you'll want a decorative pot that's a centimetre or two wider than that to give it a comfortable fit.
How big will my plant be when it arrives?
Every plant on our site includes the pot size (e.g. 12cm) and, where possible, an approximate height. That's the most reliable way to set your expectations, photos can sometimes make a plant look larger or smaller than it really is.
If you're thinking "that sounds quite small for the price," here's something worth knowing: younger, smaller plants almost always adapt better to your home than larger ones. They adjust faster to your light and humidity, put out new growth more quickly, and tend to establish stronger root systems long-term. A plant that grows into your space will usually outperform one that was already big when it arrived.
That said, every plant is an individual. The one you receive may vary slightly in height, shape, or fullness compared to the photo, that's the nature of living things, not a quality issue. We select healthy, well-established specimens, and if you ever feel your plant doesn't match what you were expecting, just get in touch and we'll take a look.
What makes your plants different from the supermarket or garden centre?
There's a big difference between a plant that's been sitting under on a retail shelf and one that's been looked after and cared for by people who specialise in exactly this.
Our plants are grown in house or sourced from specialist nurseries, many of them varieties you simply won't find at your local garden centre or supermarket. Before anything leaves us, it's checked over by our horticultural team to make sure it's healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive in your home. We're not shifting volume off a pallet, we're choosing plants we'd want to keep ourselves.
When you buy from a supermarket, you get a plant and a generic care label. When you buy from us, you get the knowledge that comes with it, detailed care guidance, a team you can actually contact if something isn't going right, and the confidence that what's arriving has been looked after properly from the moment it was grown to the moment it reaches your door.
We're a specialist nursery first, not a retailer that happens to sell plants. That's the difference, and you'll see it the moment you open the box.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
First things first, unbox it as soon as you can. Plants don't love being in dark boxes any more than you would, and the sooner yours is out and breathing, the better.
Remove all the packaging carefully, give the soil a check with your finger, and water lightly if it feels dry. Then find it a spot with appropriate light, but avoid putting it straight into harsh direct sun or next to a radiator. Think of it like arriving somewhere new after a long journey: it needs a moment to adjust.
It's completely normal for your plant to look a little tired or droopy after transit. This is called transit stress, and most plants bounce back within a week or two. You might see a yellow leaf or some drooping, don't panic, and resist the urge to overwater or start repotting straight away.
Our advice for the first couple of weeks: leave it in its nursery pot, water it only when the top layer of soil feels dry, and let it acclimatise to your home's light, temperature, and humidity. Once it's settled in and showing signs of new growth, you can think about repotting or moving it to its permanent spot.
Every plant we sell comes with a care guide on the product page so you'll know exactly what it needs going forward. And if anything doesn't look right, get in touch with our team, we're always happy to help.
Will my plant survive being shipped?
Yes! and we go to serious lengths to make sure of it. Every plant is hand-packed by our team with protective wrapping and secure, custom-designed boxes to keep it stable and safe in transit. We've shipped hundreds of thousands of plants across the UK and our packaging methods have been refined over years to handle the bumps and jolts of delivery.
During colder months, we monitor weather forecasts and offer heat packs where needed to protect against frost. In extreme conditions, we may hold your order for a day or two rather than risk sending it out, we'd rather you wait an extra day than receive a stressed plant.
That said, plants are living things, and the occasional transit wobble can happen. If your plant arrives damaged or isn't in the condition you'd expect, just get in touch within 7 days with a photo, and we'll make it right, whether that's a replacement or a full refund. No fuss.
The short version: we treat every box like it's going to someone who really cares about what's inside, because it is.

Rated by real customers
This vibrant neon pothos receives mostly positive feedback. Customers praised its "amazing colour" and described it as a "gorgeous ray of sunshine." Plants typically arrive healthy and well-packaged. However, some concerns include inconsistency with photos, mixed leaf sizes, and occasional unrooted cuttings. A few shoppers noted leaves darkening during adjustment.

Nothing like the picture
Mine was a complete mishmash / propagation pick n mix - massive green leaves, tiny neon leaves, variegated leaves, an unrooted cutting that fell out straight out of the pot… not exactly thrilled about this artistic arrangement and cut corners sticking unrooted cuttings in… wouldn’t have bought this if I saw it in person.
