N’Joy Pothos
Epipremnum aureum 'N'Joy'
📖 About this plant
N’Joy Pothos is a stunning, compact pothos variety that features some of the most dramatic white variegation of any pothos cultivar. Its leaves can be more white than green, with irregular patches and splashes of pure white, cream, and green creating a painterly effect. Discovered in India, this relatively new cultivar has quickly become a collector favorite. The leaves are smaller and more delicate than standard pothos, and the growth habit is more compact, making it ideal for small spaces. Each leaf is a unique work of art.

- The compact size makes it perfect for small pots, terrariums, and dish gardens.
