# I’ve had this beauty for about 4 or 5 months. What kind of pothos is…

_Posted by Katie on 2024-09-02_

I’ve had this beauty for about 4 or 5 months. What kind of pothos is this? Should I be having the leaves climb or hang like they are currently? I am a new plant owner so I’m trying to learn!!

Climb! I have mine climb and I use plant clips for hold them.

I just need it to grow more thicker.

To me that looks like a neon pothos. It’s a little more green than standard, but that’s probably just because it’s either got some older leaves (since it’s such a big plant) or is in a dimmer area. It’s very beautiful!

Neon

They don’t have to climb. They do like it, I have one that climbs my walls without clips. But it can 100% thrive leaving it to trail and yours (a neon) looks happy!

pothos also really appreciates and benefits from the occasional shower. clipping it to the wall will make this a pain in the butt, if not impossible.

Wow so pretty just like that. I have a baby neon pothos. What’s your lighting for your pothos?

Looks like neon to me

You’re doing a great job! She’s thriving! Whether you want it climb or trail is totally your preference. Your plant will be happy either way. 😊💚
