30 - 50cm Epipremnum Silvery Ann on Mosspole Scindapsus 15cm Pot House Plant

Epipremnum Silvery Ann, a variety of Epipremnum (often associated with Pothos), is favored for its attractive, variegated foliage. The leaves typically present a silver, creamy variegation, making it a visually appealing choice for indoor gardeners.

• Leaves: Heart-shaped with silvery, creamy-white variegation on a green base. The variegation is more prominent on the midrib and veins of the leaves.

Care Guide:

Epipremnum Silvery Ann is quite adaptable and manageable in care, especially when trained on a mosspole:

• Light:

  • Prefers medium to bright, indirect light. The variegation becomes more pronounced with more light, but be cautious of direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water:

  • Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil is well-draining.

• Soil:

  • A well-draining potting mix, such as a mixture of peat moss and perlite, ensures that the roots remain healthy and avoids waterlogging.

• Temperature:

  • Optimal temperatures lie between 65°F (18°C) and 80°F (27°C).
  • Keep away from drafts, air vents, and drastic temperature fluctuations.

• Humidity:

  • Enjoys higher humidity but can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. Mist the leaves or use a humidifier for added moisture.

• Fertilization:

  • During the growing season (spring to early autumn), feed every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
  • Fertilization can be reduced or skipped during the winter months.

• Pruning:

  • Prune to manage growth and promote bushiness. Pinch back the stems just above a leaf node.

• Pests and Problems:

  • Watch for pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Wipe leaves regularly and treat pests promptly.
  • Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or insufficient light.

• Propagation:

  • Propagation is straightforward with stem cuttings. Place cuttings in water until roots develop, and then transfer to soil.

Using a Mosspole:

Using a mosspole or coir pole can provide support and promote larger leaf growth for vining plants like Epipremnum:

• Mounting:

  • Gently attach the stems to the mosspole using soft ties or clips. Ensure not to damage the stems in the process.

• Moss Pole Care:

  • Keep the moss pole slightly damp to allow the aerial roots of the Epipremnum to grip and climb.
  • Mist the pole regularly or soak it during watering sessions.

• Training the Plant:

  • As new growth develops, gently guide and attach it to the mosspole to encourage upward growth.
  • Prune as needed to manage the shape and size.

Additional Tips:

• Be cautious of placement as Epipremnum can be toxic to pets if ingested.
• Rotate the pot every few weeks to ensure even growth, as the plant will tend to grow towards the light source.

Epipremnum Silvery Ann on a mosspole can become a lively, cascading green feature in your space, providing a refreshing, tropical ambiance while also being forgiving and easy-going in its care.
