About

Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue' is a cultivar of a vining aroid in the family Araceae, originating from the island of Cebu in the Philippines. It is distinguished by its narrow, iridescent bluish-silver leaves that shift in appearance depending on the angle of light. As the plant matures on a support, the leaves develop pinnate splits similar to monstera fenestrations — a dramatic transformation that makes growing it to maturity particularly rewarding. Bright indirect light brings out the characteristic metallic sheen of the foliage; in lower light the blue tones diminish. Water once the soil has dried; overwatering causes root rot. Provide a moss pole or support to encourage climbing and the development of mature, fenestrated leaves. Propagates easily from stem cuttings in water. More unusual than common pothos varieties, it has become a collector favourite, valued for its metallic, sculptural foliage.

Growing Tips

Light & Placement

Prefers bright indirect light; the more light, the bluer and glossier the leaves. Avoid direct sun.

Watering

Water thoroughly once the soil dries. Overwatering causes root rot, so empty the saucer and let it dry between waterings.

Propagation

Easy water propagation from stem cuttings with nodes

Soil & Repotting

Plant in a well-draining mix and train it up a pole to encourage the split mature leaves. Repot once roots fill the pot.

Notes

Leaves grow larger when climbing pole
