Returns Simplified.Epipremnum aureum Rubicon is a beautifully refined tropical vine prized for its subtle speckled variegation and soft satin-like texture. A member of the Araceae family and native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia, this rare cultivar is a more understated relative of the classic Pothos, offering elegant foliage with a gentle marbled finish.
Each heart-shaped leaf is a deep jade to mid-green, flecked with fine silver-green speckles that glimmer softly in the light. The variegation is delicate and organic appearing as fine dusting or soft mottling rather than bold patches giving the plant a calm, sophisticated character. When trained up a moss pole, Epipremnum Rubicon develops larger, thicker leaves with more pronounced markings, revealing its true climbing nature.
Graceful and quietly striking, this cultivar makes an excellent choice for collectors and plant lovers who appreciate subtle variegation and lush, polished foliage.
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which brings out the soft silvery speckles on its leaves. It can tolerate moderate light but may lose variegation in very dim conditions. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch or dull the leaf surface.
Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy, allowing good drainage at all times. Overwatering is the most common cause of leaf yellowing. During winter, reduce watering slightly but maintain gentle moisture.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 1828 C; avoid temperatures below 15 C. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (5080%) helps maintain the leafs natural sheen and prevents browning edges. Mist occasionally, or use a humidifier to replicate tropical conditions.
Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich aroid mix compost combined with perlite, coco coir, and fine bark is ideal. This provides airflow while holding steady moisture. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the substrate and encourage new root growth.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Over-fertilising can cause salt build-up and stress the roots, so feed lightly. Suspend feeding during the cooler months.
Trim back long or leggy vines to promote bushier growth and maintain shape. Wipe the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and bring out their soft, satin-like finish. Rotate occasionally for even light exposure.
A moderate to fast grower, Epipremnum Rubicon can reach 1.52 metres in length when allowed to trail or climb. On a moss pole, the leaves will gradually enlarge and develop stronger texture. Its manageable size and refined variegation make it an excellent feature plant for smaller spaces or shelves.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Faded variegation: Insufficient light.
Pests: Occasionally affected by mealybugs or spider mites treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
