Origin + Story
N'Joy is a patented cultivar developed in India, discovered as a mutation on a Marble Queen pothos. It has blocks of cream-white against green with cleaner, crisper boundaries. Leaves are smaller and more compact than Golden or Neon, and growth is denser and slower.
The white sections contain no chlorophyll, so the plant produces less energy per leaf and grows at a reduced pace. A trade-off common to all heavily variegated plants.
