Taking care of your plants
Variegated Pothos
Exposure

Bright, indirect light is best to maintain variegation; tolerates lower light but colours may fade.

Watering frequency

Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings; avoid overwatering.

Feeding frequency

Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced, diluted house plant fertilizer during the growing season.

Repoting

Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; spring is ideal.

Description

Variegated Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Variegata') is a popular trailing indoor plant known for its heart-shaped leaves with striking green and creamy white variegation. It's easy to care for and adds vibrant contrast to shelves, hanging baskets, and desks in UK homes and offices.

Toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and children.

PLANTING

  • Use a well-draining, peat-free compost with added perlite or bark.

PLANT CARE

  • Trim vines to control shape and encourage fuller growth
  • Wipe leaves to keep them clean.

VERVE RECOMMENDS

  1. Place in bright, indirect light for vibrant leaf colours.
  2. Let soil dry slightly between waterings.
  3. Rotate occasionally for balanced growth.
  4. Trim back stems to promote bushiness.
