Pothos Lemon Top 6”

Pothos ‘Lemon Top’ is a vibrant cultivar known for its bright chartreuse-to-yellow new leaves that mature into a bold green with glowing highlights. Like all pothos varieties, it originates from the tropical forests of the Solomon Islands, where it naturally climbs tree trunks under filtered light. The plant’s vivid coloration shows best in bright, indirect light, which keeps the new leaves luminous and prevents them from dulling.

For the best results, place your Pothos ‘Lemon Top’ near an east-facing or north-facing window. East light provides gentle morning sun that enhances its yellow tones without causing leaf scorch. North light offers a softer, consistent illumination that helps the plant grow evenly. In south- or west-facing windows, keep the plant back from the glass or use a sheer curtain so the stronger afternoon sun doesn’t bleach or burn the tender new growth.

Proper light direction also supports fuller, balanced vines. Rotate the pot every couple of weeks so all sides receive equal exposure, preventing the plant from leaning heavily toward one direction. With steady, indirect light and regular turning, your Pothos ‘Lemon Top’ will maintain its bright color, vigorous growth, and lush, compact appearance.
