15 - 25cm Epipremnum Njoy Gold in Hanging 14cm Pot

Pothos ‘Njoy Gold’ is a stunning variety of pothos with striking variegated foliage. Its green leaves are beautifully streaked with lime and yellow hues, making it a vibrant choice for brightening up indoor spaces. With a trailing growth habit, it’s ideal for hanging pots, shelves, or tabletops. Known for being hardy and low-maintenance, Njoy Gold is a great option for beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts alike. Here’s how to keep Pothos ‘Njoy Gold’ looking its best:

1. Light Requirements

• Optimal: Bright, indirect light. The variegation remains more vivid with ample indirect sunlight, so a spot near an east- or west-facing window works well.
• Tolerant: Can handle lower light conditions but may grow slower and lose some variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering Needs

• Frequency: Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing the top 2.5 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Pothos likes consistent moisture but should never sit in soggy soil.
• Signs of Overwatering: Yellowing leaves, particularly at the base, may indicate too much water.
• Signs of Underwatering: Leaves may become dry, curl slightly, or develop brown edges when underwatered.

3. Humidity

• Ideal: Moderate indoor humidity (40-50%) is fine, but it will appreciate a bit of extra humidity to keep its leaves lush.
• Tip: Misting occasionally or placing the plant near other houseplants can help maintain a comfortable humidity level, especially in dry conditions.

4. Temperature

• Optimal Range: 18-27°C. Njoy Gold thrives in typical indoor temperatures.
• Avoid: Cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C, which can cause the leaves to lose colour and stress the plant.

5. Soil Requirements

• Type: A well-draining, peat-based potting mix works well. Adding perlite or orchid bark enhances drainage and aeration.
• pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0-7.0).

6. Feeding

• Frequency: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser, diluted to half strength.
• Autumn and Winter: No need to fertilise, as growth slows naturally in cooler months.

7. Pruning and Maintenance

• Pruning: Trim long vines to encourage a bushier appearance and prevent a sparse look. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s overall health.
• Maintenance: Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust, allowing the variegation to shine and improving light absorption.

8. Propagation

• Method: Stem cuttings are easy to propagate. Take cuttings with at least one node and place them in water or directly in moist soil.
• Time: Spring and summer provide the best results, as the plant is actively growing.

9. Common Pests and Problems

• Pests: Pothos ‘Njoy Gold’ is generally resistant but may occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids. Inspect regularly and treat any infestations with insecticidal soap if needed.
• Issues: Fading variegation can indicate low light, while yellowing leaves may signal overwatering. Brown edges are usually due to underwatering or low humidity.

10. Repotting

• Frequency: Every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Repotting refreshes the soil, ensuring nutrient availability and room for growth.
• Tip: Use a pot only slightly larger than the root ball to prevent excess moisture retention.

With its bright, cheerful leaves and trailing growth habit, Pothos ‘Njoy Gold’ is perfect for hanging pots, high shelves, or trailing down cabinets. It’s a resilient, low-maintenance plant that will add a pop of colour to any indoor setting and thrive with minimal care.
