Botanical Name: Epipremnum aureum ‘Ricotta’
Also Known As: Ricotta Pothos, Pothos Ricotta, Variegated Pothos

Pothos Ricotta is a beautiful variegated Pothos featuring green foliage accented with creamy white to pale green markings. Each leaf develops its own unique pattern, giving the plant a bright, fresh appearance while maintaining the easy-growing nature that makes Pothos such a popular indoor plant.

Its trailing and climbing growth habit makes Ricotta Pothos incredibly versatile. Allow the vines to cascade from a shelf or hanging basket, or train them upward on a moss pole or trellis for larger, more mature foliage. Like other Pothos, it is adaptable and relatively forgiving, making it a great choice for both new and experienced plant collectors.

☀️ Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and maintain its attractive variegation. It can tolerate medium light, but lower light may result in less noticeable variegation. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

💧 Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain from the pot. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

🌱 Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve airflow and drainage around the roots.

🌫️ Humidity: Average household humidity is suitable, although moderate to higher humidity can encourage healthy, vigorous growth.

📏 Size: A trailing or climbing plant that can develop vines several feet long indoors. Regular pruning can help maintain a fuller and more compact appearance.

🐾 Pet-Friendly?: ❌ Not pet-friendly. Keep away from cats, dogs, and children who may chew or ingest the foliage.

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Hanging baskets, shelves, plant stands, desktops, cabinets, or climbing a moss pole or trellis. Its creamy variegation makes it especially attractive in bright indoor spaces.

💡 Pro Tip: Give Ricotta Pothos plenty of bright, indirect light to help maintain its variegation. If the plant begins producing mostly green growth, increasing the amount of indirect light may help encourage stronger coloration.
