Epipremnum aureum Jade, commonly known as Jade Pothos or Green Pothos, is a classic, evergreen trailing plant from the Araceae family. Native to the Solomon Islands, this cultivar is one of the most reliable and easy-going members of the pothos group, prized for its uniform, deep green foliage.
Unlike highly variegated types such as Marble Queen or Golden Pothos, the Jade variety has solid, glossy green heart-shaped leaves. This simplicity gives it a lush, jungle-like aesthetic, perfect for creating a dense, trailing display. Its minimalist look also makes it especially versatile, complementing both modern and traditional interiors.
As a trailing or climbing vine, Epipremnum Jade is ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or training on a moss pole or trellis. With proper care, its vines can reach several metres indoors, offering an abundance of leafy greenery.
Tolerates a wide range of light conditions, from bright, indirect light to low light. Stronger light encourages faster growth, while lower light slows it down but does not affect the solid green colour. Avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.
Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil lightly moist in spring and summer, but never waterlogged. In winter, reduce watering slightly. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering may result in drooping leaves.
Temperature: Best in 1826C. Protect from draughts and avoid prolonged exposure below 12C.
Humidity: Adaptable to average household humidity, but will thrive with moderate to high humidity.
Use a free-draining, peat-free houseplant compost mixed with perlite or orchid bark. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the mix and give roots more room.
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. No feeding required in winter.
Prune stems to control length and encourage bushier growth. The plant can be trained vertically on a moss pole or trellis, or left to trail freely. Cuttings propagate easily in water, soil, or moss.
A vigorous grower under good conditions, capable of producing vines several metres long. Indoors, it retains its neat heart-shaped green foliage throughout the year.
Yellowing leaves: Usually from overwatering.
Drooping leaves: A sign of underwatering.
Leggy growth: Indicates the plant needs more light.
Pests: Occasionally mealybugs, thrips, or spider mites.
Often considered the original pothos, Epipremnum Jade has been a favourite indoor plant for generations. Its lush, solid-green leaves symbolise simplicity and vitality. Like other pothos cultivars, it also helps improve air quality, making it both decorative and functional.
