Pothos 'Neon Queen' (Epipremnum aureum 'Neon Queen') is a rare cultivar in the Pothos genus, native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and the Solomon Islands. In its natural habitat, it climbs trees in warm, humid conditions. It adapts well indoors as a trailing plant or climbing houseplant.
Its marble neon variegation features bold chartreuse-yellow and vivid lime-green tones that swirl across large, heart-shaped leaves with a waxy, smooth texture. Each leaf is distinct, making every new unfurl worth watching. It grows upright when young and develops long, trailing vines over time, equally at home cascading from a shelf or hanging basket.
Pothos 'Neon Queen' rarely flowers outside its native tropical environment, so its appeal is entirely leaf-driven. It actively filters formaldehyde and other indoor toxins.
Rotate it regularly for even, balanced growth and keep it away from AC vents and heater drafts to prevent leaf stress. You can leave it up to ten days without water. Move it outside in summer in warm climates. The sap can cause skin and paw irritation, so place it on a high shelf well out of reach of pets and small children.

Pothos 'Neon Queen' grows well in bright indirect light but handles low light conditions, including office LEDs.
Water it every 7 to 10 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, and ease off in winter.
Pothos 'Neon Queen' prefers a well-draining mix of standard potting soil combined with perlite in roughly a 2:1 ratio.
It prefers temperatures between 65–85°F and should never be exposed to frost or cold below 50°F.
