Epipremnum Champslyses

EpipremnumChampslyses is a striking cultivar of Epipremnum (often labelled under the name pothos) that stands out thanks to its vivid neongreen foliage and distinctive textured undersides. Its leaves are typically a bright lime to yellowgreen, and on the undersides you may notice ridged gilllike crests that add a unique visual element.

Native to: This is a cultivated variety rather than a wildcollected species. It derives from the common pothos lineage, which traces back to tropical Asia and the Pacific, but the exact parentage of Champslyses is not documented.

Water: Allow the top portion of the potting medium to dry out before watering again. This cultivar prefers a cycle of drying slightly rather than remaining watersaturated. Avoid letting the roots sit in standing water as rootrot is a common issue in pothos varieties.

Light: Prefers bright, filtered light. While it will tolerate moderate light, the best vigorous growth and leaf colour come from conditions where indirect light is strong. Direct midday sun should be avoided as it can scorch the foliage.

Humidity: It tolerates average indoor humidity well, though slightly higher humidity can help overall growth. It does not demand ultrahigh humidity and will do fine in a typical UK home environment.

Temperature: Keep indoors at temperatures around 1826C. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below about 15C, and protect from cold drafts or very dry heater air.
