The four essentials
Care at a glance
Use these basics for everyday care, then see the full guidance below.
Light
Neon Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the vibrant leaves.
Water
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Neon Pothos prefers evenly moist soil but can tolerate some drying out between waterings.
Humidity & temperature
This tropical plant enjoys temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C to 29°C). While it adapts to normal household humidity, occasional misting or placement near a humidifier can enhance its lush appearance.
Pet safety
No. Neon Pothos is toxic to pets if ingested, so keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.

Feeding
Feed your Neon Pothos with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive growth with weaker foliage.
Repotting
Repot your Neon Pothos every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and encourage vigorous growth. Trim leggy vines to maintain a fuller, bushier shape.

After delivery
Help your plant settle in
A little travel stress is normal. Keep the first few days simple.
Unpack gently
Remove the natural wood strands from the soil surface. They kept soil in place during shipping.
Check before watering
Feel the soil first and follow the plant-specific watering cue above. Do not water only because it arrived.
Let it rest
Place it in the recommended light and keep it away from heating vents, cold drafts and harsh direct sun.
Keep its nursery pot
If you chose an upgraded pot, leave the plant in its nursery pot inside it. Decorative moss may stay or be removed.

Quick troubleshooting
Check the simplest causes first and change one part of the routine at a time.
- Drooping after delivery: A little travel stress is normal. Keep conditions steady and give the plant time to settle.

- Brown or crisp edges: Review watering consistency, humidity, nearby vents and exposure to harsh direct sun.
When in doubt: wait, check the soil again and compare what you see with the care guidance above.
