The Amplissimum White Variegata (also known as Epipremnum amplissimum variegatum) is a stunning and easy-to-care-for houseplant, thanks to its low-maintenance nature and striking variegated leaves. Here’s a guide to ensure your plant stays healthy and thrives:
Light
-
Bright, indirect light is best. The variegation in the leaves can be more pronounced in good light, though it will tolerate low light conditions. Just keep in mind that in low light, the growth may slow down and the variegation may fade.
-
Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves, especially the white or lighter parts of the variegation.
Watering
-
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
-
In the winter months, the plant’s growth slows down, so you may need to water less frequently. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s better to underwater slightly than overwater.
-
Drainage is essential to prevent water from sitting in the pot.
Temperature
-
The plant prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
Humidity
-
Epipremnum amplissimum thrives in moderate to high humidity. If the air in your home is dry, you can increase humidity by misting the leaves, placing the plant on a humidity tray, or using a humidifier.
Soil
-
A well-draining potting mix is important. Use a standard potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark to improve drainage.
-
You can also go for a mix designed for tropical plants, as it will retain moisture while allowing excess water to drain.
