Epipremnum N’Joy Gold

Royal Golden Pothos 'N'Joy Gold' / 'Lemon Joy' (Epipremnum aureum 'Lemon Joy')

Get ready to bring absolute botanical energy into your home or office, the brightness of sunflowers and one of the most cheerful vines in the world of houseplants – the stunning Epipremnum 'N'Joy Gold' (also known as 'Lemon Joy')! This masterpiece of nature is a real find for fans of bright, neon colors and contrasting leaves. The plant's greatest pride, its showstopper and unmistakable signature feature is its breathtaking foliage: the striking, heart-shaped leaves (which are much more delicate, compact and slightly more crinkled than those of classic epipremnums) are adorned with a dramatic play of colors. On their surface, a bright, neon-green and lemon-yellow (golden) background contrasts sharply and asymmetrically with dark green, painterly patches. This dazzlingly bright coloring creates an immediate effect of freshness and a burst of light in any room! Right now, it is a perfectly formed, exceptionally dense, lushly grown 20 cm bush (which will soon naturally start sending out trailing vines) in a generous 12 cm pot. It is the most prestigious, tasteful and reliable gift for a blessed home, beginner plant lovers and anyone looking for a visually "delicious", aesthetic natural wonder that brightens up a room!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: Bright, but MUST be indirect (filtered) light. Here's the secret to this plant's lemon-yellow leaves: to maintain such a rich, bright color (variegation), it desperately needs plenty of natural light! In low light (deep inside a room), the leaves will quickly lose their golden hue and turn a dull green to survive. However, it absolutely cannot tolerate direct, scorching midday sun, which will quickly scorch its paper-thin, pale leaves. An east- or west-facing windowsill is absolutely ideal.

• 💧 Watering: Moderate, careful, and very forgiving! This plant likes to have a chance to breathe between waterings. Water the plant generously, but ONLY when the top half of the soil (or even 2/3 of the pot) has dried out completely. It absolutely cannot tolerate its roots sitting in standing water in the saucer (this will cause the roots to rot in no time, and the leaves will become soft, brown, and fall off).

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: A heat lover, but extremely adaptable! It thrives comfortably in warm indoor temperatures (+18°C to +26°C). 'Lemon Joy' tolerates ordinary, dry indoor air without any problems, though it will appreciate occasional misting during the heating season. Keep it strictly away from cold winter drafts!

• 🐾 Keep away from pets and children: Like all members of the arum family (Araceae), Epipremnum plants contain calcium oxalate crystals in all their parts, which are highly toxic. Chewing or swallowing them causes a severe burning sensation in the mouth, swelling of the lips, drooling, and serious digestive problems in dogs and cats.

🏠 BEST ROOM:

• Hanging pots (macramé), tall bookshelves, dressers, and bright bathrooms with a window, where this yellow-green climbing vine can artistically and freely trail down over the edges of the pot.

• Modern, "urban jungle," boho, or bright Scandinavian-style interiors, where neon hues will serve as a lush, refined, contemporary design accent, perfectly contrasting with dark furniture or white walls.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Height: 20 cm (currently an exceptionally dense plant, ready to start stretching out)

• Pot diameter: 12 cm

⚠️ A note and a dose of reality about 'Lemon Joy' epipremnums: Plants are living organisms, and when growing this golden wonder, you need to know its botanical nature! The plant currently looks like a compact little bush, but it is a natural climbing vine. It will soon start producing longer vines. You’re free to shape it as you like: You can let it gracefully trail down, grow it climbing around a moss pole (which will encourage significantly larger leaves), or regularly trim the long vines, keeping it as a dense, round bush! The cuttings root extremely easily in a glass of water. When you repot it in the future, BE SURE to use a coarse, airy, exceptionally well-draining houseplant mix (aroid mix), generously blended with perlite and orchid bark.
