Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue' also known as Blue Philodendron is a very unique and interesting plant. It is an aroid and is a part of the Araceae family of plants. Found originally on Cebu Island in the Philippines, this plant can now be found in areas of Asia, Central and South America. What makes Epipremnum pinnatum so special, is that the juvenile plant looks completely different than the mature adult plant. The leaves of the young plant are elongated and have a blue/silver color to them, whereas the leaves of the adult plant resemble more of a palm frond with pinnatifid or divided leaves almost to the midrib. Other differences are the juvenile plants are terrestrial, whereas the adult plants are epiphytic climbers. Epipremnum pinnatum is sometimes mistakenly confused with Monstera plants, but can easily be correctly identified by the hard ridge that runs along the stem, since Monstera stems are smooth. Coming from the rainforest, this plant prefers moist soil and full or partial light.

Container Gardens/Terrariums/Houseplants:

Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue' would do well as a houseplant. It can be treated as any other typical philodendron or pothos would be treated, in that it’s vines can be left to hang or drape over a surface from the pot.

Josh's Frogs offers a wide variety of glass terrariums, container garden soils, drainage layers and other supplies for all of your indoor gardening needs.

Vivariums/Animal Terrariums:

This plant is a very popular vine for vivarium enthusiasts, as it will stay in its juvenile form, thus keeping its fairly small leaves and unique blue tinted coloration. It will grow fairly rapidly, but can be easily pruned smaller if it gets out of control. It will thrive either in direct light or moderately shaded areas and prefers the constantly moist substrate that a vivarium offers. If placed in a terrarium, keep well watered so that it doesn’t dry out.

As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants from Josh's Frogs are treated only with products that are OMRI Listed© for use in organic production. Live plants may vary in color, size and appearance.
