Cebu blue pothos care

The Cebu Blue Pothos is a rare variety that is actually a different species than most other Pothos plants, it's blue-green leaves can reach large sizes when given room to climb.

What is so special about Cebu Blue pothos?

The Cebu Blue Pothos is a gorgeous variety with silverish-blue shimmery leaves that trail, climb, vine beautifully. And it's one of those plants that looks harder to care for than it really is, I think. As its name suggests, the Cebu Blue comes from the island of Cebu in the Philippines.

Can Cebu Blue pothos be in direct sunlight?

The Cebu Blue pothos care requires bright indirect light for the plant to thrive well. The Cebu Blue, on the other hand, is not as tolerant of low light as some other Pothos plants. Your plant will benefit from the bright light provided by Northern-facing windows without the risk of scorching the foliage.

Is Cebu Blue pothos hanging or climbing?

Does Cebu Blue pothos climb? Yes! Cebu Blue LOVES to climb up a trellis or moss pole and will get big, happy leaves if you let it! They grow aerial roots and really flourish when climbing.

How do you make Cebu blue bushy?

Pruning. Cebu Blue doesn't require heavy pruning, however, pruning any vines that have gotten too long or leggy is helpful to encourage a fuller, more bushy plant. (Leggy means the vines grow long with fewer leaves, usually due to the plant trying to reach out for more light.)

What light does Cebu Blue need?

Cebu blue is fairly laid-back about lighting so it will happily live in a medium light situation, but for the lushest and prettiest foliage give it plenty of bright indirect light. If you choose to move it outside for the summer, find a spot with filtered sunlight such as under a larger plant or tree.

How do you know if your pothos is happy?

As with any plant, watch leaves for signs of the plant's well-being: if the leaves are glossy, green, and perky, the plant is happy; if they're wilting or turning brown, you're not watering enough. Yellow leaves are a sign of over-watering and root rot.

What is the rarest pothos?

Most rare pothos varieties feature distinctive variegation, like the bold white patches of the Manjula Pothos. Others, like the Cebu Blue Pothos, have more subtle differences in their coloration. And some, like the Teruno Shangri-La, feature leaf shapes that are unusual for a Pothos.

How long does it take for Cebu blue to mature?

Cebu Blue Pothos can take up to 20 years to reach maturity, but fenestrations may develop earlier if the plant is grown in ultra-ideal conditions that are the closest to its natural habitat.

How often do I water Cebu Blue?

Remove the lower 2 to 3 leaves from the fresh cuttings to expose the nodes along the stem. Place the stem cuttings in water, submerging the exposed nodes while leaving the remaining leaves above water. Change the water every week to keep it fresh. Roots should begin growing within 2-3 weeks.

Do pothos like deep or shallow pots?

Pothos rarely requires repotting and can thrive in a smaller pot, which also helps prevent the plant from growing too large. Generally, a new pot should be no more than 2 inches larger than the old pot or the root ball. A pot depth of 10 inches supplies enough room for the plant to grow.

Can pothos survive in a dark room?

Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is an evergreen climber that develops aerial roots and so makes a wonderful hanging or climbing houseplant for dark rooms.

Should a pothos be next to a window?

High light is fine for a Pothos but make sure it's at least 8-10′ away from a west or south facing window. Indirect sunlight is fine. If your Pothos is getting light from one side only, you'll want to rotate it every now and then. Those leaves will really lean towards the light source.

Where is the best place to put a pothos?

Keep pothos plants in a warm location; room temperature is ideal. If exposed to regular drafts or colder temperatures, the plant's growth can be affected. Place pothos in bright, indirect light. They will tolerate low light, but will not grow as vigorously and may lose some or all of the variegation in their leaves.

Should pothos be by window?

Often the best place for them is 5-10 feet away from a south-facing window (closer to the interior of a room), or near a west-facing window. Pothos can grow near any windowsill as long as it isn't so close that it gets burned, nor so far away that it is desperately reaching for light.

Can you propagate Cebu Blue?

Cebu Blue propagates very easily and very readily. What is this? Simply make cuttings that are a few inches long and you can easily root Cebu Blue in either soil or water. I like to use water propagation because I can see the roots beginning to grow, and then I pot them up.

What is the best potting mix for Cebu Blue?

Plant your Cebu Blue in a well-draining pot and soil mix. I recommend making a soil mix of 2 parts all-purpose potting soil and 1 part perlite. Adding this extra perlite will help improve the drainage and airflow in the soil and around the roots, which help prevent root rot.

How long does it take for a Cebu Blue to propagate?

How long does it take for Cebu blue to root? In my experience it took 3-4 weeks to see roots on my cebu blue cuttings and a out 2 months for it to be ready to plant in soil.

Does Cebu blue like to dry?

As a vining plant, the Cebu Blue naturally grows up the trees where it would cyclicly be soaked and left to dry out, and I'd definitely try to mimic that process in your watering schedule. Cebu Blue Pothos love regular water but won't tolerate soggy conditions.

Do pothos like to climb or hang?

In the wild, these plants naturally vine upward from the forest floor as they reach for the sunlight. When growing indoors, they enjoy vining upwards toward the ceiling as long as there is enough light above the plant. You can trellis pothos up walls, shelves, rafters, or artistic trellis installations.
