  •   Pothos 'Lemon Top' is a rare, easy care trailing houseplant belonging to the genus Epipremnum, making it a true standout in the pothos family. Like its relatives, it originates from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, where it naturally climbs and cascades through the forest understory. This color changing pothos has earned serious collector attention, and its rarity makes it a genuinely exciting find for any plant lover.

      What sets Pothos 'Lemon Top' apart is its striking foliage, which emerges in vivid golden yellow tones before maturing into deeper green, creating a two-toned, color shifting display on a single plant. The leaves are heart-shaped with a glossy, smooth texture and a satisfying weight, carried along long, flexible vining stems that trail beautifully. That evolving leaf color is the signature trait that makes Pothos 'Lemon Top' one of the most visually dynamic trailing indoor plants available today.

      Like most Epipremnum grown as houseplants, Pothos 'Lemon Top' rarely if ever flowers indoors, so its visual appeal comes entirely from those spectacular, color changing leaves. What it lacks in blooms it more than makes up for in foliage drama, especially as new growth constantly introduces fresh bursts of lemon yellow to the plant. Pothos 'Lemon Top' also earns its place indoors as an air-purifying plant, actively filtering formaldehyde and other toxins from your home environment.

      Pothos 'Lemon Top' is a natural fit for a hanging basket or mounted on a high shelf with a sturdy hook, letting those long, lemon-bright vines trail freely. It thrives near kitchen moisture, grows happily under office LEDs, and can even move outside for summer to enjoy warm, sheltered conditions, or linger outdoors into autumn before temps drop. Because the sap of Pothos 'Lemon Top' can cause skin and paw irritation, cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and it is best placed away from small children. This rare pothos variety is a low maintenance houseplant that genuinely rewards collectors and beginners alike.

  •   Pothos 'Lemon Top' thrives in medium to bright indirect light but adapts well to lower light conditions indoors.

      Water Pothos 'Lemon Top' every 7 to 10 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

      Pothos 'Lemon Top' does best in a well-draining mix of standard potting soil blended with perlite for aeration.

      Pothos 'Lemon Top' prefers temperatures between 60 and 85°F (15 to 29°C) and should never be exposed to frost.

      Pothos 'Lemon Top' is a moderate to fast grower and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

      Pothos 'Lemon Top' is hardy in USDA Zones 10 to 12, tolerating lows of around 30 to 35°F (around -1 to 2°C) only briefly before cold causes damage. Gardeners growing Pothos 'Lemon Top' outdoors year-round will find the best conditions across Hawaii, South Florida, and the southernmost parts of California, Texas, and Arizona. Coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina also fall within range, along with parts of the Oregon and California coast where winters stay mild.
  • Q: How often should I water Pothos 'Lemon Top'?
    A: Water Pothos 'Lemon Top' roughly every 7 to 10 days, letting the top inch of soil dry before watering again. The plant helpfully shows when it is thirsty through slight wilting of its leaves.

    Q: Is Pothos 'Lemon Top' safe for cats and dogs?
    A: Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat Pothos 'Lemon Top', as the sap can cause paw and skin irritation. Keep it on a high shelf or in a hanging basket well out of reach of pets and small children.

    Q: What light does Pothos 'Lemon Top' need indoors?
    A: Pothos 'Lemon Top' performs best in medium to bright indirect light and will even grow under office LED lighting. Avoid placing it directly in a south-facing window, as intense direct sun can scorch the leaves.

    Q: How do I encourage even growth on Pothos 'Lemon Top'?
    A: Rotate Pothos 'Lemon Top' regularly so all sides of the plant receive equal light exposure. This simple habit keeps the vines full and prevents one-sided, leggy growth.

    Q: How do I propagate Pothos 'Lemon Top'?
    A: Take a stem cutting with at least one node and one leaf, then place it in water or moist potting mix until roots develop. Pothos 'Lemon Top' roots readily, typically within two to four weeks.

    Q: Can Pothos 'Lemon Top' survive while I am away on a trip?
    A: Pothos 'Lemon Top' is remarkably resilient and can typically survive a 10-day trip without watering as long as it was well-watered before you left. Its drought tolerance makes it one of the most travel-friendly rare pothos varieties available.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
