Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper neon pothos care is straightforward, making it an excellent choice even for those new to houseplants. This resilient plant thrives with consistent, but not overly demanding, attention. For optimal growth and to maintain its vibrant neon color, place your neon pothos live plant in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, causing them to fade or develop brown spots, while too little light may cause the neon color to become duller. An east-facing window or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window is usually ideal.

When it comes to watering, the key is to allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake and can lead to root rot. You can check the soil moisture by sticking your finger into the soil. If it feels dry, it’s time to water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Ensure your pot has drainage holes. The Neon Pothos prefers a well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor potting mix with some added perlite or coco coir will provide the ideal aeration and drainage. This tropical plant appreciates average household temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and moderate to high humidity, though it tolerates typical indoor humidity levels well. You can occasionally mist the leaves or place the plant near a humidifier to boost humidity, especially in drier climates or during winter months. This plant is well-suited for a neon pothos indoor environment.

Fertilize your Neon Pothos every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing during fall and winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows down. Pruning can encourage bushier growth and prevent the vines from becoming too leggy. Simply snip off any excessively long or yellowing stems just above a leaf node. This plant is generally pest-resistant, but occasionally inspect for common houseplant pests like spider mites or mealybugs, especially if conditions are dry. Address any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Its hardiness makes it a sturdy pothos houseplant.
