{"product_id":"neon-golden-pothos-epipremnum-aureum-neon","title":"Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' - Neon Pothos","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis Pothos' bright leaves will shine amongst your plant collection. Its unusually highlighter-pen-like colouring has given it the cultivar name 'neon', and it's not difficult to see why. The bright yellow-green colouring of this trailing plant's heart-shaped leaves stands out amongst the usual forest of green foliage and looks fabulous too. Like its many Pothos cousins, this variety is easygoing and forgiving of forgetful plant parents, so don't worry if you forget to water it for a couple of weeks - all will be forgiven! In its natural habitat, this plant climbs up tall rainforest tree trunks, so in your home you can trail it from a hanging pot or high shelf, or train it up a moss pole or other support. However you grow it, this cheerful plant's bright colour is sure to bring a smile to your face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eEpipremnum aureum\u003c\/em\u003e 'Neon' (golden plant which grows on the bottom of a tree, cultivar: neon)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSynonyms: \u003cem\u003ePothos aureus, Rhaphidophora aurea, Scindapsus aureus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis plant was first described as a \u003cem\u003ePothos,\u003c\/em\u003e and subsequently reclassified as both \u003cem\u003eRhaphidophora aurea\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eScindapsus aureus\u003c\/em\u003e before settling on the current scientific name: \u003cem\u003eEpipremnum aureum.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNeon Pothos, Golden Pothos 'Neon', Neon Devil's Ivy, Ivy Arum, Ceylon Creeper\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative to the Society Islands, especially Mo'orea (in French Polynesia, in the South Pacific), where it grows in the wet tropical biome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eYour Pothos won't need direct sun, preferring light that is indirect but still bright.
