Pothos 'Lemon Meringue'

Pothos ‘Lemon Meringue’ (Epipremnum aureum ‘Lemon Meringue’) descends from the humid understories of French Polynesia, where the air hangs heavy with mist and sunlight filters in fragments through high canopies. There, the Pothos clings to tree trunks and stone, climbing patiently toward the light. Rain falls often, never in torrents but in slow, dependable rhythms that keep the forest breathing.

This cultivated variety captures that quiet persistence, exchanging the deep greens of the wild for a brighter palette. Its small, heart-shaped leaves shimmer in tones of chartreuse, soft yellow, and pale green, their variegation edged in white like sunlight touching the rim of water. The vines are compact and neatly spaced, trailing or climbing with effortless rhythm. Each new leaf unfurls like a brushstroke of warmth in subdued light.

In cultivation, Pothos ‘Lemon Meringue’ thrives in bright, indirect light and evenly moist soil, tolerating occasional dryness without complaint. It grows easily, rooting wherever it touches, and brightens dim corners with steady optimism.

In character, it is resilience made cheerful—a gentle spirit of the tropics that finds beauty in adaptation. Quiet yet luminous, ‘Lemon Meringue’ is the forest’s soft laughter brought indoors.
