Pothos Mini Mint is an exciting Epipremnum variety found by our Plant Hunter that offers small, pointy leaves speckled with golden yellow. It’s an adorable fresh take on a tried-and-true variety.

Like its cousins, you can count on this climbing houseplant to tolerate a wide variety of conditions, making it a great choice for both beginning gardeners and experienced plant parents. It’s forgiving if you forget to water, doesn’t need high humidity, and continues to grow, even in lower light levels.  That said, it truly thrives in a bright spot with regular watering.

You can enjoy it climbing up a pole, trellis, or other structure where its foliage will add a tropical touch to your favorite room or office. It can be grown in hanging planters, as well, but if it trails too long, it will make leafless runner stems.

Epipremnum spp. Mini Mint

While its not truly a miniature Epipremnum variety, we’ve found the leaves stay smaller and the internodes tend to stay more compact than other varieties we’ve grown, keeping this one on the little side. It grows just as quickly as other varieties and the leaves do slowly larger as the plant matures. So far in our testing process, we haven’t seen it form fenestrations develop.

Just like other Epipremnum varieties, Mini Mint loves an abundance of light (natural or artificial is fine). You’ll find it grows best in bright environments (within a couple of feet of a good-sized, unobstructed east- or west-facing window, or the equivalent of with plant lights). We’ve found it tolerates medium or even lower lighting conditions, but it won’t be as happy and the mint-type variegation will quickly fade, making it look all green. It can take some morning sun through a window, particularly in Northern climates.

For watering, it’s best to allow the top 25 percent or so of the potting mix to just start to dry before watering again. Take care not to overwater and swamp the potting mix. Both underwatering and overwatering can cause yellow/brown leaf edges.

This Epipremnum variety grows well in average household temperatures. Thanks to its tropical roots, it holds up to heatwaves and doesn’t require particular care when the mercury soars. Do try to keep it over about 60F/15.5C for best results.

It prefers above-average relative humidity (over 50 percent), but does just fine in average relative humidity levels, especially if you keep it consistently watered.

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact.
