    Light watering

    He’s very undemanding on water. Check him weekly and give him a drink only if the top two inches of soil feel dry.

  • 
    Most light conditions

    Equally undemanding when it comes to light. He’ll make do with quite a shady spot, but will grow better in brighter light.

  • 
    Humidity

    He loves a room with moist air, like a bathroom or kitchen. Occasional misting will also do the job.

• About neon pothos

  The neon pothos is exactly the same species of plant as our all-time bestsellingRapunzel, but in a zingy, acid green colour. It requires exactly the same care, i.e. not very much at all.

  In the wild, neon pothos grows in sup-tropical forests, mainly across Asia and Australia. It spreads easily because it can grow in pretty dark places (hence one of its common nicknames, devil’s ivy). It’s not unusual for it to grow as tall as 200 metres.

  Its undemanding attitude to light has made it a very popular houseplant, ideal for beginners.

  It will manage in most light conditions (it doesn’t love harsh sun or total darkness). It needs infrequent watering and generally just gets on with things. It will enjoy a feed withliquid fertiliseronce per month in spring and summer. It’s so easy that it would take significant effort to kill it. Please don’t make the effort to kill it.

  Did you know?

  While devil’s ivy is capable of flowering, it almost never does. The last time a plant was known to flower without assistance was 1964.

  This plant is 100% peat free.
