Light Requirements: Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue' prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its growth will be slower and the leaves may become less vibrant. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering Needs: Water thoroughly when the soil feels dry. Ensure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the plant has proper drainage. Water less frequently during the winter months when growth slows.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mixture of regular potting soil with added perlite and orchid bark works well to ensure good drainage and aeration.
How to Fertilize: Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, fertilizer. Apply fertilizer at half-strength every 4-6 weeks. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.
Hardiness Zone: Typically grown indoors or as a container plant in zones 10-11. It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Pet Safety: Considered toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It can cause gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting and diarrhea. Keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.
Additional Care Tips: Regularly trim back any leggy or unhealthy stems to encourage a fuller, bushier growth habit. Repot every 1-2 years as needed to refresh the soil and provide more growing space. Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue' can climb if provided with a support structure like a moss pole or trellis.
