The Cebu Blue is a vine with leaves more elongated than most other Pothos vines; but is more noted for its pale, silvery-blue hue. Native to Cebu Island in the Philippines, it is known to overgrow forest floors and tree trunks thanks to its aerial root system. As they mature they can develop fenestrations or holes in the leaves, though in indoor conditions this can take some time to occur. Pothos vines in general are particularly fitting for indoor settings because they are able to filter gaseous toxins like formaldehyde from the air.

Position:

Cebu Blue love bright, well-lit areas as well as shadier spots making this plant very versatile when used for home styling. Make sure to avoid direct sunlight (they can burn) and warmth is this vine’s best friend.

Water:

Letting the top 3cm of the soil dry out in between watering is ideal. It likes a good soak (depending on size) roughly once a week in summer months and once every two weeks in winter months.

Feed:

Feed monthly during the spring and summer with a water-soluble plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength - Use our organic seaweed fertilizer for best results.

Humidity:

Normal room humidity is fine however, we recommend you use a humidity tray filled with pebbles or leca balls and half-filled with water, with your plant pot placed on top. Top up the water if necessary when watering your plant but make sure the water level stays below the top of the pebbles/leca balls so the plant roots can breathe. The humidity from the tray will keep the leaves lush and the roots moist.

Soil:

Pothos prefer a well drained soil mix - Use our Pothos soil mix for best results.
