Epipremnum Pinnatum Cebu Blue Natural Environment

Epipremnum pinnatum is a very variable and widespread aroid species in tropical Asia. Cebu Blue is a form that comes from the island of Cebu in the Philippines. It is known as Blue Cebu or Blue Pothos due to the silver/blue/grey colour of its leaves. It is an evergreen tropical vine that is a reliable indoor plant.

 

Epipremnum Pinnatum Cebu Blue Tips

It is an interesting plant because it has juvenile foliage and mature foliage. In the juvenile stage, the leaves are entire (i.e. no cuts or holes), up to 10cm long and with a silvery or blue cast to the leaves. The vines can drape beautifully in a hanging pot and the leaf form will remain juvenile. However, if you allow the plant to climb a moist totem, eventually new leaves will develop cuts and holes (known as fenestration) and more pronounced green colour and veining.

 

Epipremnum Pinnatum Cebu Blue Lighting, Position, Humidity, Watering & Fertiliser

In nature, Cebu Blue is a climbing vine that attaches its roots to trees and grows upwards to seek brighter light in the canopy. It is subjected to regular cycles of rain and drying breezes and is fertilised by a dilute solution of nutrients washed from the decaying material on the tree.

To grow Cebu Blue to its best indoors, we need to simulate natural conditions as closely as possible viz. medium to bright indirect light, moderate humidity, regular wet/dry cycles achieved by a thorough watering after the soil has dried down a few centimetres. Fertilise fairly regularly with dilute fertiliser. Allow the plant to climb on a moss totem if you want mature foliage.

We recommend using our Plant Food available here.
