How to care for Cebu Blue Pothos

Epipremnum pinnatum · Araceae

vineeasy to growtoxic to pets

A pothos relative from the Philippines with elongated, silvery blue-green leaves that shimmer in good light. In its juvenile trailing form it stays sleek and narrow; given a pole and time, mature leaves grow larger and can develop dramatic splits. Care is close to golden pothos with a bit more appetite for light and humidity. Water roughly every 7 days while it's growing (about every 12 in winter), give it bright, indirect light, kept above 55°F (13°C) — average room humidity suits it.

Care at a glance

Water: every ~7d growing · ~12d dormant
Light: Bright, indirect light
Humidity: average room humidity
Keep above: 55°F (13°C)
Feed: every ~30d in season
Repot: every ~18 months

Water when the top few centimetres dry out; slightly thirstier than golden pothos but still rot-prone if kept soggy.

Bright indirect light brings out the blue sheen; it survives medium light but grows slowly and loses its lustre.

Half-strength balanced liquid feed monthly in spring and summer.

Mistakes that kill this plant

  • Chronic overwatering in dense soil.
  • Leaving spider mite infestations untreated through winter.
  • Prolonged exposure to cold drafts.

Seasonal tips

  • Spring is the time to attach it to a pole if you want big, mature foliage.
  • Ease off watering in winter and keep it away from cold glass.
  • Feed monthly in summer to fuel its fast vining growth.
