Epipremnum aureum HANSOTI14, USPP27,117P3

Discovered in India (and put under patent protection by its discoverer, Ashish Hansoti, so we’re obliged to tell you propagation is prohibited) in 2010, and nicknamed Manjula, this pothos variety stands out because of its leaf shape and tighter growth habit. (The internodes, or spaces between the leaves, is typically tighter on Manjula than Golden or other E. aureum varieties.) The variegation pattern varies from leaf to leaf and since each leaf is different, this plant is a living work of art. Grow this easy-care climbing/trailing houseplant in a bright spot to keep it happiest. Ideally, this is within 2 to 3 feet of an unobstructed east- or west-facing window (or the equivalent if you use plant lights). If you don’t have a bright spot, that’s okay. Manjula Pothos holds up in medium and low light conditions, as well. She just grows slower. Water this vining houseplant as the top 25 to 50 percent or so of the potting mix dries to the touch and take care to avoid overwatering. She thrives in average to above-average household temperatures; keep her above 55F for best results. Average to above-average relative humidity levels are just fine, too.

As she grows, Manjula Pothos will want to vine. You can let her vine up, trail down from a basket or shelf, or pinch her periodically to keep her full and bushy.
