Trebie Pothos
Epipremnum aureum 'Trebie'
📖 About this plant
Trebie Pothos is a beautiful variegated cultivar that features a stunning mix of green, white, cream, and silvery-green on its heart-shaped leaves. The variegation pattern is highly variable, making each leaf unique — some leaves are mostly green with silver edges, while others are predominantly white with green centers. This unpredictability is part of the plant’s charm. Trebie is a vigorous grower that trails beautifully from hanging baskets or climbs well on supports. It combines the best traits of Marble Queen and Silver Satin varieties.
