120 - 140cm XL Variegated Epipremnum Pinnatum 24cm Pot House Plant
The Epipremnum pinnatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to the Philippines and South Asia. The variegated form of Epipremnum pinnatum is a particularly attractive houseplant, with cream or yellow splotches on the green leaves. With proper care, this plant can thrive and provide beautiful, vibrant foliage for your space.
Due to the highly variable nature of this plant, variegation and maturity will greatly differ on each plant and we cannot guarantee a certain level.
Description:
The variegated Epipremnum pinnatum has large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves. As a mature plant, its leaves might also develop fenestrations (natural holes), similar to a Monstera deliciosa. The variegation presents as bright yellow or cream patches on the green leaf surface, which can vary widely from leaf to leaf. This plant is a vigorous grower, often requiring a support structure like a pole or trellis for the best growth.
Care Guide:
-
Light: This plant enjoys bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its variegation may become less pronounced if it doesn't receive enough light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can burn the leaves.
-
Water: Water your Epipremnum pinnatum when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, a common problem with houseplants.
-
Humidity: As a tropical plant, it prefers higher humidity levels. However, it is quite adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity. To increase humidity, you can use a pebble tray, a humidifier, or group it with other plants.
-
Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 60 and 85°F (15 - 29°C). Avoid placing it near drafts, air conditioners, or heating vents as sudden temperature changes can stress the plant.
-
Soil: A well-draining potting mix is essential. You can use a high-quality houseplant mix with a bit of added perlite or orchid bark for additional drainage.
-
Fertilizer: Feed your plant every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early fall) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the winter months.
-
Pruning: Prune your Epipremnum pinnatum to control its size and shape. This will also promote bushier growth.
-
Repotting: Repot your plant every 1-2 years or when you notice the roots are getting crowded in the pot. This is usually a good opportunity to refresh the soil as well.
-
Propagation: The Epipremnum pinnatum can be propagated via stem cuttings. Simply cut a piece with at least one node and let it root in water or directly in soil.
Caution: The Epipremnum pinnatum is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach from pets and small children.
Remember, every plant is unique and its care may vary depending on the specific conditions of your home. Always monitor your plant's health and adjust your care routine as needed.
