General description

Epipremnum pinnatum 'Baltic Blue' is a spectacular climbing plant with deep blue-green foliage and long, jagged fronds that appear as soon as the plant reaches a sufficient size. Its bright, openwork leaves create a modern, elegant tropical look.

Origin

Horticultural selection of a variety of Epipremnum, native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Suitable for indoor cultivation as a decorative plant.

Care

• Light : Bright indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to preserve the blue-green tint.
• Watering : Water when the surface of the substrate is almost dry. Do not leave the soil constantly soggy.
• Humidity : High is preferred; a slightly humid environment promotes better foliage.
• Temperature : between 18 and 27°C; do not expose to low temperatures or cold drafts.
• Substrate : very well-draining mix, rich in organic matter, with perlite or aerated elements to ensure good air circulation around the roots.

Special advice

• Provide support such as moss or stakes to encourage the leaves to become large and fenestrated.
• Fertilize lightly monthly during the growing season to encourage vigor and fenestration.
• Prune lightly to control branching and maintain a harmonious shape.
• Toxic if swallowed to humans and animals.
