The Neon Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Neon') is a striking tropical vine known for its vivid chartreuse to bright neon-green foliage. The leaves are heart-shaped and glossy, with a smoother texture than traditional pothos varieties. When grown in low to moderate light, the foliage tends toward a slightly deeper lime green, while in brighter conditions, the leaves glow with electric yellow-green vibrancy. Its trailing or climbing habit makes it a popular choice for hanging baskets, shelf displays, or training on moss poles, offering a vibrant splash of color to indoor plant collections.
