Epipremnum pinnatum Cebu Blue Variegata is a rare and highly sought-after cultivar of the beloved Cebu Blue pothos, originating from the Philippines. Part of the Araceae family, it is prized by collectors for its metallic blue-green foliage combined with striking patches of creamy-white or pale mint variegation.
The leaves are narrow, elongated, and lance-shaped, shimmering with a silvery-blue sheen that appears almost iridescent in the light. The variegated form enhances this effect, with unpredictable splashes, streaks, and marbling of white or pale green across the leaf surface. As the plant matures and is given support to climb, the foliage can develop dramatic fenestrations (splits), further elevating its tropical appeal.
As a versatile grower, Cebu Blue Variegata can be trained vertically up a moss pole to encourage larger leaves, or grown as a trailing vine cascading elegantly from shelves or hanging baskets. Its combination of shimmering tones and rare variegation makes it a centrepiece in any plant collection.
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which is essential for maintaining variegation. Tolerates medium light, but colour and marbling may fade. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate variegated areas.
Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Overwatering may cause root rot, while prolonged dryness may lead to curled leaves. Reduce watering in winter.
Temperature: Best in 1828C. Protect from draughts and avoid prolonged cold below 15C.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (60%+). Mist occasionally, use a pebble tray, or position near a humidifier to prevent crisping on variegated sections.
Use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix (peat-free compost with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir). Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the soil and encourage strong growth.
Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4 weeks in spring and summer. Feeding is unnecessary in winter when growth slows.
Prune long vines to encourage bushier growth and to maintain shape. Train the plant up a moss pole or trellis to encourage larger and fenestrated leaves. Stem cuttings propagate easily in water, moss, or soil.
A moderately fast-growing vine. Leaves remain narrow and blue-green when trailing, but climbing specimens may develop mature fenestrations. Each leaf will display unique variegation patterns, adding to its rarity and beauty.
Loss of variegation: Insufficient light.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Crisping edges: Low humidity or too much direct sun.
Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.
The Cebu Blue pothos has long been admired for its shimmering blue foliage, but the variegated form takes its appeal to a new level. With its rarity, metallic tones, and marbled variegation, Epipremnum pinnatum Cebu Blue Variegata is a true collectors specimen and one of the most prized pothos varieties available.
