Origin + Story
Neon Pothos is a cultivar selected for its uniform, vivid chartreuse-to-lime-green foliage. Unlike Golden Pothos, there is no variegation pattern: the entire leaf is one solid, luminous shade of neon green-yellow.
The color is arresting. In the right light, a Neon Pothos on a shelf can visually anchor an entire room. It pairs especially well against dark walls or darker foliage plants. The color will dull toward standard green in low light.
