Editor's Note

Some resources list all parts of Epipremnum, Pothos, Philodendron and Scindapsus as poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is calcium oxalate crystals. Symptoms include burning and swelling of lips, mouth, tongue, and throat, also diarrhea. Reportedly toxic only if large amounts are eaten.

The plant can also cause skin irritation upon contact. Irritation is said to be minor and only lasts for a few minutes.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

One of the newer variety of Pothos or Devil's Ivy, Neon Pothos aka Pothos 'Goldilocks' is more compact and smaller in size than Golden Pothos and generally does not reach 18 inches or more; in fact, this plant is very easy to maintain at only about 6 inches. It is easy to grow and, unlike other pothos, has very beautiful, arrow-shaped leaves that are TOTALLY BRIGHT LIME GREEN WITH NO MARKINGS (hence the name 'Neon' Pothos). It is a great houseplant and is especially useful that it does not get as big as the other varieties of pothos and can be easily maintained in a short size and compact shape. It does not like sun and thrives in deep shade most plants won't tolerate... except the wonderful Pothos Vines! Like all pothos, it is great indoors in hanging pots or baskets - more so than the other varieties. A great new variety that can be used even in commercial buildings because it withstands dry air and low light!
