Cebu Blue Pothos Care
Cebu Blue Pothos (Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue')
Overview
- Elegant, silvery-blue leaves with a metallic sheen
- Fast-growing tropical aroid with subtle shimmer and grace
- Transforms dramatically with age—develops fenestrations when mature
- Best trained on a moss pole to encourage larger, split leaves
Cebu Blue Pothos is a refined yet fast-growing aroid, prized for its shimmering, blue-green foliage and elegant trailing or climbing habit. With support, it transitions from simple juvenile leaves to deeply lobed mature foliage. At BoDurtha’s, we train Cebu Blue on moss poles early to guide this beautiful transformation and support upward growth.
Origins
Native to the Philippines and parts of Southeast Asia, where it climbs through tropical forests using aerial roots.
Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light.
- Tolerates medium light but grows slower
- Direct sun can scorch its delicate leaves
- Best placement: east- or north-facing windows, or bright filtered southern exposure
Watering
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Prefers evenly moist soil but tolerates brief dry periods
- Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering
- Benefits from ambient humidity to prevent leaf curl or crisping
Soil & Potting
Use a chunky, well-draining Aroid Mix.
- Blend should include coco coir or peat, perlite, bark, and chunky amendments
- Ensure pots have drainage holes
- A support pole should be secured in the pot at time of repotting
Fertilizer
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.
- Reduce feeding in fall and winter
- Occasional organic top-dressing encourages strong root growth
Recommended Growth Style: Moss Pole
Cebu Blue Pothos climbs naturally and thrives on vertical support.
- Moss poles allow the plant to produce larger, fenestrated leaves
- Secure vines gently as they grow upward
- Early staking improves form and overall size over time
Final Notes
Cebu Blue Pothos offers subtle drama and soft shimmer—a perfect addition for collectors and design-forward spaces alike. Whether cascading or climbing, its elegant foliage adds movement and tone. At BoDurtha’s, we guide it upward to bring out its most stunning form.
