Say hello to the N Joy Pothos, a plant providing lots of reasons to brighten up your day. It’s easy to care for, has gorgeously variegated leaves, and even its name will make you smile.
The N Joy was discovered in 2002 as a “branch mutation” (i.e., a naturally occurring deviation) of the popular Marble Queen pothos. Its leaves are a little thinner and smaller than the Marble Queen, and the variegated cream and green of its leaves is much more dramatic.
Like most pothos, N Joy looks great in a pot or hanging in a container. Although most pothos are forgiving about low light, you’ll want to give N Joy plenty of bright, indirect light – not only so it can thrive, but also so it can maintain the striking color contrast on the leaves.
One of the very few demands of all pothos is to not be overwatered, so keep the top few inches of soil dry and test the soil prior to watering. While pothos don’t necessarily require fertilization, particularly if they have good nutritious soil, you can feed them on a regular schedule from April or May through August. Just follow the instructions on the label of your favorite plant food.
Pothos love a good misting and it’s also important to dust them when needed so they photosynthesize efficiently.
We hope you enjoy your N Joy!
