Pearls and Jade Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Pearls and Jade') is a popular variegated pothos known for its attractive mix of cream, silver, and green variegation across heart-shaped leaves. It typically grows as a trailing or climbing vine, producing compact, slightly rounded foliage compared with some other pothos varieties. This variety is ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or trained up a moss pole, and is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced plant owners alike.

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Morning sun or a few hours of filtered light keeps variegation strong.

Water

Water when the top 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of soil feels dry.

Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining potting mix (general houseplant mix amended with perlite or orchid bark).

Temperature & Humidity

Prefers 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep above 55°F (13°C). Appreciates moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier in dry homes.

Feeding

Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–early fall).

Pruning & Training

Prune to maintain shape, remove leggy stems, and encourage bushier growth. Cut just above a node. Can be trained on a moss pole, trellis, or allowed to trail—trim long vines to promote fuller growth.

Toxicity

Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Propagation

Easily propagated by stem cuttings with at least one node. Root in water or directly in moist potting mix.
