Albo Pothos Epipremnum pinnatum 'Variegata Pothos Cutting or Starter

🌿Albo Pothos  Epipremnum pinnatum 'Variegata' – Plant Info & Care Guide

Botanical Name: Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Variegata’
Common Names: Variegated Pothos, Epipremnum pinnatum Albo Variegata, Pinnatum Albo
Family: Araceae
Type: Rare tropical climbing aroid
Origin: Southeast Asia (cultivar form)

✨ Overview

Epipremnum pinnatum 'Variegata' is a stunning and rare pothos variety known for its splashed and marbled white variegation on long, elegant green leaves. As the plant matures, the leaves develop fenestrations—natural slits that give it an exotic, tropical appearance.

This plant is prized by collectors and aroid enthusiasts for its unique foliage, climbing habit, and relatively fast growth when given proper care. Because of its striking appearance and rarity, it’s often considered a collector’s plant.

💡 Light Requirements

Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain bold variegation

Can tolerate medium light, but with reduced variegation

Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate white areas

💧 Watering

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry

Ensure well-draining soil to prevent root rot

Less frequent watering needed in cooler months

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C)

Avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C)

Loves moderate to high humidity (50%+) for best growth and fenestration

🌱 Soil & Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix (soil + perlite + orchid bark or coco chips)

Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound

🍃 Fertilizing

Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced or nitrogen-rich fertilizer

Cut back in fall and winter when growth slows

✂️ Pruning & Training

Prune to manage size or remove reverted (non-variegated) growth

Grows best when allowed to climb a moss pole or trellis

Trailing plants tend to stay smaller and less fenestrated

🌿 Propagation

Propagates easily via stem cuttings in water, moss, or soil

Each cutting must include at least one healthy node

Variegated cuttings may root slower but are generally reliable

❗ Common Issues

Reverted leaves: Cut back to variegated growth

Browning on white areas: Normal, as variegation lacks chlorophyll and is more delicate

Slow growth: Normal with heavily variegated plants due to less chlorophyll

🧡 Why You'll Love It

Rare, collectible, and highly rewarding for those who love unique tropical plants

Easy to propagate and train into a show-stopping climber

Node Stem Cutting or Small Rooted Starter Plant 

Each plant cutting you receive will include one node and one leaf maybe more. All cuttings are freshly cut with a stem and node to help with propagation. The node is the point where the leaf attaches to the stem, and it will often look like a small "bump" on plants like pothos, monstera, or philodendron. Keep in mind, aerial roots may or may not be present at the time of clipping so you might not notice the node but each cutting will have at least one node and one leaf ready for water or soil propagation!

🌱 Shipping & Plant Health:
While it's uncommon, cuttings can occasionally be affected during shipping. If you notice any issues with your order, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery so I can offer a refund, replacement, or coupon—whichever works best for you!

It's normal for cuttings to show some signs of stress from transit, such as wilting, yellowing, or slight browning. This doesn’t necessarily mean the cutting isn’t viable—the node is the most important part, and it’s often still healthy and ready to grow.

🌡️ Cold Weather Shipping:
If temperatures in your area are expected to drop below 50°F (10°C), I strongly recommend adding a heat pack to your order. You can find one in the shop or add it during checkout as a shipping upgrade. This helps protect your plant during transit and reduces the chance of cold-related damage.
