App and Google says this is Devil’s Ivy… it was given to me and is my first plant so I’m not very good at identifying them yet. Can anyone confirm?

Looks like a neon pothos to me.

was thinking the same thing

### Maya.DelCid commented on 2025-05-01

Definitely a neon pothos

### Nina’s Garden commented on 2025-05-01

Neon Pothos

### Joshua\_Watson commented on 2025-05-01

I was going to say Golden Pothos maybe, but Neon seems to be the consensus so far and I’m not sure how to tell the two apart.

#### Victoria Maddison replied on 2025-05-01

Golden is a darker green with white/yellow variegation, this one is more of a consistent bright green

### PlantNewbie94 commented on 2025-05-01

Okay that’s what I was thinking! It fit the color the best, mine is just a little… rough around the edges LOL

### PlantNewbie94 commented on 2025-05-01

Does it look unhealthy? I just got it Monday. I keep it on my back porch until the sun gets high and then move it to my covered front porch. She told me to water it every 3 days.

Devil's ivy is a common name for pothos.

Because they just don’t die! :)

### Hilsie commented on 2025-05-01

Google says that all pothos are Devil's Ivy, and I've never once heard anyone refer to pothos as that in real life haha

#### PlantNewbie94 replied on 2025-05-01

lol I thought it was funny when I read that so that shall be what I call it 😂

It’s a pothos. I’m not sure if it’s a neon pothos or a regular golden that needs care and fertilizer to show the darker leaves.

I would wait a couple of weeks and change out the soil to give it fresh nutrients. Use a soil mix with lots of perlite for good drainage. Then, water and wait until the soil completely dries before watering again. Don’t water to a strict schedule to avoid under/over watering.

Fertilize twice a month with diluted fertilizer. The true colors will come out when you fertilize.

You are already protecting it from midday sun. That’s good. Variegations will come out in brighter light. 🪴🍀
