Epipremnum 'Manjula' Ø12cm

Epipremnum 'Manjula' is a sought-after pothos cultivar with dramatic variegation of cream-white, light green, and silvery shades on dark green. Patented in 2010, 'Manjula' means 'beautiful' in Sanskrit. Climbing-trailing plant with wavy 8-15 cm leaves. Easy-going and forgiving, ideal for hanging baskets or moss poles. Care instructions Epipremnum 'Manjula' is easy to look after, needing care similar to other variegated pothos, with a little attention to light to keep its variegation vivid: Light: Bright indirect light, essential for variegation. Under too low light, new leaves will have less cream variegation (the plant produces more chlorophyll for efficient photosynthesis). Tolerates gentle morning sun, but avoid direct midday sun which fades cream zones. Best exposure: 1-2 meters from east/west-facing window or filtered south-facing. Full-spectrum LED grow lights are a valid alternative. Watering: Moderate - substrate slightly dry on top between waterings. Summer every 5-7 days, winter every 10-14 days. Overwatering leads to root rot, while prolonged drying causes leaf drop. Use room-temperature water, decanted or filtered - chlorine in tap water can affect leaf tips. Humidity: 50-70% optimal. 'Manjula' happily tolerates lower humidity than many aroids, though below 40% leaf tips can turn brown and variegation may lose luster. Use a humidifier or grouping with other indoor plants. Substrate: Aerated, with excellent drainage, slightly acidic. Recommended mix: universal substrate (50%), perlite (25%), fine pine bark (15%), sphagnum moss (10%). pH 5.5-6.5. Temperature: 18-28°C optimal, minimum 15°C. Below 12°C the plant suffers and may drop leaves. Fertilizing: Decorative plant fertilizer, diluted to half, monthly in growing season. Don't fertilize in winter. Excess nitrogen can reduce variegation - prefer balanced or slightly nitrogen-poor. Repotting: Every 2-3 years, in spring, into pots only slightly larger. Long stems can be propagated in water for new plants. Pruning: Regular pruning stimulates branching. Remove discolored leaves. For vertical growth on moss pole, guide stems for aerial roots. Common problems: Pure green leaves = insufficient light. Brown tips = too dry air. Yellowed and soft leaves = overwatering. Pure cream-white leaves do best out of direct sun to keep their color. Spider mites appear in very dry air. Specifications Pot diameter: 12 cm Total height (incl. pot): 25 cm
