Pearls and Jade Pothos

Pearls and Jade is a cultivar of Epipremnum aureum, in the Araceae family. University of Florida records name its selection UFM12, marketed as Pearls and Jade. [1][4]

Its compact leaves carry irregular green, white and gray-green patches. The pattern differs from leaf to leaf. [3]

Choose a bright position with indirect light. Screen strong window sun with a curtain, and keep the vine away from deep shade. [9]

Poor light slows growth and can reduce the variegated pattern. Adjust the position as seasonal window light changes. [8]

Use an open houseplant mix that retains some moisture while draining freely. A peat-free houseplant compost is suitable. [9]

Choose a container proportionate to the root ball, with drainage holes. Check whether fresh medium already contains fertilizer. [12]

Keep the plant in steady indoor warmth, around 18–30°C / 65–86°F, away from cold drafts and radiator heat. [9]

Ordinary household humidity suits epipremnums. Keep the vine away from direct drying heat. [9]

Feed every other month during active growth, following the houseplant fertilizer label. Pause feeding during inactive winter growth. [6]

Shorten long stems just above a leaf joint to encourage a fuller vine. [9]

Support each leaf and wipe dust away gently with a soft damp cloth. [6]

Enjoy the variation across new leaves: white, gray-green and green patches form different patterns along the vine. [3]

Recheck moisture as winter light declines. Water less often when the mix dries slowly and keep the pot freely draining. [10]

Keep the vine bright through winter while shielding it from cold drafts. [8]

Pearls and Jade has compact leaves patterned in green, white and gray-green. It was developed from a Marble Queen mutation selection. [3]

Exotica has broader heart-shaped leaves with extensive silver markings over green. [19]

Pearls and Jade belongs to Epipremnum; Exotica belongs to Scindapsus. Both are trailing or climbing members of the Araceae family. [1][2][6][7]
