The Manjula pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Manjula') is a beautiful and relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant known for its distinctive, heart-shaped leaves with diverse variegation. This cultivar, a result of selective breeding, typically displays a mix of green, white, and cream hues in a marbled or splashed pattern across its foliage. Here's a breakdown of its care and propagation:
Care for Manjula Pothos:
 * Light: Manjula pothos thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, insufficient light may cause the white variegation to fade, and the plant may revert to solid green. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate white parts of the leaves. East or west-facing windows with some obstruction or a spot a few feet away from a south-facing window are ideal.
 * Water: Allow the top 1-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Manjula pothos is somewhat drought-tolerant, and overwatering is a more common issue leading to root rot. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Reduce watering during the cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.
 * Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A standard indoor potting mix amended with perlite or coco coir to improve aeration and drainage is suitable.
 * Temperature: Maintain average household temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Protect the plant from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.
 * Humidity: While Manjula pothos can adapt to average indoor humidity, it prefers higher humidity levels (above 60%). You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier nearby, using a pebble tray with water, or grouping plants together. Bathrooms and kitchens often provide naturally higher humidity.
 * Fertilizing: Manjula pothos does not require frequent fertilization. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the spring and summer (the active growing season). Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.
 * Pruning: Prune your Manjula pothos to maintain its shape, encourage bushier growth, and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. You can also trim long vines if they become too extensive. Pruned cuttings can be used for propagation.
Propagation of Manjula Pothos:
Manjula pothos is easily propagated through stem cuttings, which can be rooted in water or directly in soil. Here's how:
 * Take a cutting: Using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears, take a stem cutting that is 4-5 inches long. Ensure the cutting includes at least one node (the small bump on the stem where a leaf grows).
 * Prepare the cutting: Remove the leaves from the bottom half of the cutting to expose the nodes.
 * Rooting in water: Place the cutting in a jar or glass of fresh water, ensuring that at least one node is submerged. Place the jar in a location with bright, indirect light. Change the water weekly to keep it fresh. Roots should begin to develop within a few weeks. Once the roots are at least an inch long, you can plant the cutting in a pot with well-draining potting mix.
 * Rooting in soil: Alternatively, you can plant the prepared cutting directly into moist, well-draining potting mix. Ensure that at least one node is buried in the soil. Place the pot in a warm location with bright, indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Root development may take a bit longer with this method.
Remember that the Manjula pothos is a patented variety, so commercial propagation for sale is prohibited without permission. However, propagating for your own enjoyment and to share with friends is a great way to expand your collection!
