Exposure & Location

The Epipremnum Pinnatum Cebu Blue prefers bright indirect light to maintain its spectacular silvery blue tones. It tolerates partial shade but the colors will be less intense.

• Exposure: bright indirect to bright partial shade, avoid harsh direct sun.
• Ideal: bright living room, office, high shelf, or hanging near an east or west-facing window.
• Temperature: 18 to 27 °C (64 to 81 °F), without sudden fluctuations.
• Substrate: light, airy, and well-draining (green plant potting mix + perlite + bark).

Verdeia tip: the more bright light it receives (without direct sun), the more vibrant and spectacular its silvery blue tones will be.

Watering & Care

• Watering: moderate; allow the top 2-3 cm of substrate to dry out between waterings.
• Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduce in winter.
• Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and a saucer.
• Humidity: prefers 50-60% humidity, tolerates dry air.
• Fertilizer: every 2-3 weeks in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer.
• Winter rest: reduce watering and fertilizing in autumn-winter.
• Support: stake on a moss pole to encourage climbing growth and large fenestrated leaves.

Gently clean the leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their silvery blue shine.

Decor Ideas & Plant Pairings

With its spectacular silvery blue-green foliage and rarity, the Epipremnum Pinnatum Cebu Blue instantly becomes a fascinating collector’s piece. It deserves a bright, well-visible spot where its blue tones can be admired.

• Pair with: other Pothos (Golden, Marble Queen), Philodendron (green foliage for contrast), Monstera or Scindapsus to create a varied climbing jungle.
• Ideal pot: decorative pot in matte ceramic (white, gray, light blue) or hanging planter to highlight the silvery blue foliage.
• Ambiance: perfect hanging near a window, on a high shelf, staked on a moss pole, or featured in a rare plant collection.

Stake it on a moss pole to encourage spectacular large fenestrated leaves, or let it cascade down for a soft and airy effect.

Verdeia Tips

• Maintain bright light to preserve the blue tones — in shade, the foliage turns greener.
• Avoid direct sun that burns delicate leaves.
• Stake on a moss pole to encourage large fenestrated leaves (fenestration phenomenon).
• Regularly mist if using a moss pole to keep it moist.
• Repot every 1-2 years in spring into a slightly larger pot.
• Very easy to propagate — cut a stem with a node and place it in water.
• Air-purifying plant — naturally cleans indoor air.
• Warning: slightly toxic if ingested — keep out of reach of children and pets.
