4" Skeleton Key Pothos

Skeleton Key Pothos (Epipremnum pinnatum 'Skeleton Key')

Looking for a Pothos that's a little out of the ordinary? Skeleton Key Pothos is a fascinating tropical climbing plant known for its unusual leaf shape. Young leaves start out narrow and elongated, but as the plant matures and climbs, they can develop a distinctive shape with a broad base and a long, narrow tip that resembles an old-fashioned skeleton key!

Like other Epipremnum varieties, Skeleton Key is relatively easy to care for and adapts well to indoor environments. It can trail from a hanging planter, but giving it a moss pole or climbing support is the best way to encourage its signature mature foliage. It tolerates lower indirect light, although medium to bright indirect light promotes faster growth and better leaf development. It's a wonderful addition for collectors who love unusual foliage without an overly demanding care routine.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Low to bright, indirect light. Tolerates lower light, but medium to bright indirect light encourages stronger growth and mature leaf development. Avoid harsh direct sunlight
💧 Water: Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Use a well-draining potting mix and avoid soggy soil
🌫 Humidity: Average household humidity is generally sufficient, although moderate to high humidity encourages healthier growth
❄️ Temperature: Prefers 65 to 85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F
🐾 Pet Friendly: No, contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if chewed or ingested
⭐ Rare: Yes

Fun Fact:
Skeleton Key Pothos can look like two completely different plants depending on its age! Juvenile leaves are relatively simple, while mature climbing leaves develop their unusual key-like shape. If yours doesn't look like a skeleton key just yet, give it something to climb and a little patience. The transformation is part of the fun! 🗝️🌿
