Epipremnum Cebu Blue
BeginnerEpipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue'
A pothos relative with beautiful bluish-silver leaves. Mature leaves develop fenestrations.
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

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
