20 - 30cm Cebu Blue Pothos Epipremnum House Plant 23cm Bowl

🌿 Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue’ in Bowl Pot — Cebu Blue Pothos

Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue’ is a stunning, shimmering cultivar of Epipremnum pinnatum, native to the Philippines, celebrated for its silvery-blue foliage, slender leaves, and elegant trailing or climbing habit. The elongated, lance-shaped leaves emerge in a cool metallic blue tone, giving this plant a uniquely refined and modern look. In ideal conditions and over time, mature plants can even develop natural fenestrations. When grown in a wide, shallow bowl pot, Cebu Blue becomes a softly cascading centrepiece — perfect for styling on shelves, low tables, plant stands, or minimalist interiors. Easy to care for, fast-growing, and adaptable, it offers tropical beauty without demanding attention, making it a brilliant choice for both collectors and beginners alike.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Indoors: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its silvery sheen.

• Direct sun: Morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon rays which may fade or scorch the leaves.

• Low light: Tolerated, but growth will slow and foliage may turn darker green and lose its metallic tone.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–28°C (64–82°F)

• Minimum temperature: Keep above 15°C (59°F)

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Misting is optional but beneficial in drier homes.

💧 Watering Needs

• Watering frequency: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain fully.

• Winter: Water less often as the plant slows down.

• Bowl pot tip: Ensure good drainage when growing in shallow containers — overwatering is the most common issue.

🪴 Soil & Container Notes

• Soil type: Well-draining aroid mix — combine houseplant compost with perlite and orchid bark.

• Pot type: Best displayed in a wide, shallow bowl pot to encourage trailing stems to spill over the edges.

• Drainage: Use a bowl with drainage holes, or line with a nursery pot inside a decorative bowl to prevent waterlogging.

🌱 Feeding

• Growing season (spring–summer): Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser, diluted to half strength.

• Autumn–winter: Reduce or pause feeding as needed.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Pruning: Trim as needed to control length or encourage branching.

• Leaf care: Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and reveal their beautiful blue tone.

• Trailing or climbing: Can be styled as a trailing plant in bowls or trained to climb for larger displays.

🌾 Propagation

• Stem cuttings: Easily propagated via stem cuttings in water or moist soil. Ensure each cutting has at least one node.

• Fast rooter: Rooting usually occurs within 2–3 weeks in warm, bright conditions.

🐛 Pests & Problems

• Common pests: Spider mites, thrips, and mealybugs — especially in low humidity.

• Symptoms: Pale, curling leaves or sticky residue.

• Treatment: Use neem oil or insecticidal soap. Improve airflow and humidity if issues persist.

• Common issues:

  • Yellowing leaves: Typically due to overwatering.

  • Leaf drop or dullness: Often from low light or poor drainage.

🧤 Toxicity & Safety

• Toxicity: Toxic if ingested by pets or humans. Contains calcium oxalates which can cause irritation.

• Precaution: Keep out of reach of pets and children.

🏡 Decor Use & Styling Tips

• Best displayed in shallow, wide bowl pots on:

  • Shelves, sideboards, and desks for soft, trailing movement

  • Dining or coffee tables as an elegant, non-fussy centrepiece

  • Minimalist or Scandinavian interiors — pairs beautifully with pale wood, ceramics, and glass

• Offers a cooler, more subtle look than other pothos types — perfect for curated plant collections

• Combine with Philodendron micans, Scindapsus pictus, or Tradescantia ‘Nanouk’ for a mixed trailing display
