Neon Pothos

Electric lime-green foliage that instantly wakes up a room.

The Neon Pothos is impossible to miss. Its heart-shaped leaves glow in vivid shades of chartreuse and lime green, bringing a bright pop of color to shelves, desks, hanging planters, and indoor plant displays.

Botanically known as Epipremnum aureum ‘Neon’, this colorful pothos has the same forgiving, easygoing personality that makes pothos plants so popular — just with a much brighter wardrobe.

Let it trail from a shelf, cascade from a hanging planter, or train it upward on a moss pole or trellis. If you want an easy-care houseplant with bold lime-green foliage, Neon Pothos brings plenty of impact without demanding much in return.

Styling Tip

Use your Neon Pothos wherever a room needs a little energy.

Let the vines spill from a bookshelf, floating shelf, cabinet, or hanging planter so those bright leaves can stand out against the background. A simple white, terracotta, stone, charcoal, or earthy planter gives the chartreuse foliage plenty of room to shine.

For an especially striking plant display, pair it with deep green, burgundy, or nearly black foliage. The contrast makes the Neon Pothos look even brighter.

Prefer a more structured look? Train it up a moss pole or trellis and let it grow vertically.

Good to Know

Neon Pothos prefers to dry slightly between waterings. Allow the upper portion of the soil to dry before watering again, and avoid keeping the roots consistently wet.

It can tolerate lower-light indoor conditions, but medium to bright indirect light will help maintain its strongest lime-green coloring and encourage fuller growth. In very low light, the foliage may become darker and growth may slow.

If the vines begin looking long or sparse, trimming them back can encourage a fuller appearance. Healthy cuttings can also be propagated and planted back into the original pot.

New leaves may occasionally emerge even brighter than older foliage before deepening slightly as they mature — completely normal and part of what makes this variety so fun to grow.

If you’re searching for an easy-care lime green trailing houseplant, Neon Pothos brings bold color, fast-growing vines, and effortless tropical style to shelves, hanging planters, and indoor spaces.
