Pothos Albo Variegata

One of the rarest pothos, White Variegated Epipremnum ‘Albo- Variegata’ showcases creamy whites and lush greens that create a truly breathtaking houseplant. The juvenile leaves are narrow and oval-shaped, but as the plant matures and the leaves become larger and fenestrated so it looks somewhat similar to White Monstera. Provide a moss pole or trellis for the plant to climb and grow in partial sun or bright, indirect light. Fertilize with a dilute solution of balanced fertilizer during the active growing season. Let the top of the soil dry between watering to keep this plant thriving.

• Botanical Name: Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Albo-Variegata’

• Common Name(s): Albo-Variegata Pothos

Here are some care tips to help you maintain a healthy and vibrant Pothos Albo Variegata:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Pothos Albo Variegata can tolerate lower light conditions, but its variegation may become less pronounced in dimly lit areas. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Pothos prefers slightly moist soil but is tolerant of occasional drying out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to avoid soggy conditions.
3. Soil: Plant your Pothos Albo Variegata in well-draining potting soil. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and/or coarse sand works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the roots.
4. Temperature: Pothos Albo Variegata thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it can damage the plant.
5. Humidity: While Pothos Albo Variegata can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, it appreciates occasional misting, especially in dry environments. This can help prevent the leaf tips from drying out and enhance overall plant health.
6. Fertilization: Feed your Pothos Albo Variegata with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter or if the plant is not actively growing.
7. Pruning: Regular pruning helps promote bushy growth and maintain the plant’s shape. Trim leggy stems and remove any yellow or dead leaves. You can propagate the cuttings to create new plants.
8. Propagation: Pothos Albo Variegata is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem below a node (where a leaf attaches to the stem) and place it in water or moist potting soil until roots develop.
9. Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. If pests are present, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or treat the plant with insecticidal soap.
10. Potting and Repotting: Repot your Pothos Albo Variegata when it outgrows its current pot or becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes and fresh potting soil.

By following these care tips and providing a suitable environment, your Pothos Albo Variegata will continue to thrive and display its beautiful variegated foliage, adding a touch of greenery to your indoor space.
