New Beautiful Japanese Global Pothos

New plant, love a new plant. This one's exciting. I don't wanna delay things too much. I'm just gonna say, I'm really excited about what's in this box. They'll be on the thumbnail thingy, right? So it doesn't matter. I don't need to lead this on. It's fine. I love a pothos, and I am someone who can be rather particular about variegation on my plants. Not usually into things with lots of yellow variegation. Though the golden pothos, just your regular Epipranium aureum, is a lovely plant. This one right here, this is right up my alley for what I love with variegation. Hopefully, it looks as nice as it did in the picture. So it was a little pricey. I don't think it's a very big plant. It didn't look very big from the listing, and it was 45 bucks. I got this on Etsy from Angie's Planties, and I can't show you the name or anything because my address is on there, but here's the card. Yeah, I don't think that discount's gonna work for you, but maybe it will. I don't know. That's not what I was showing it to. I wanted to show you. There we go, angiesplanties.com. That's where I got it from. Shipped very quickly, and oh, look at that. There's even hangers in here. Well, that's nifty because I was thinking about what I'm gonna do to pot this guy up, but it looks like they've included what I need for potting, which is just awesome. Anything else in here? No? I think that's empty. Yeah, nothing left in there. Pull this guy open. Packaged very carefully, which I appreciate. I love that things have that corrugation on there. Nice big heavy-duty staple. Yep, there it is. Oh, that's so pretty. Isn't it lovely? Oh my goodness. So I don't think I said it. This is the variegated epipranium aureum called Japan Global. Sometimes people say Global Japan, Japanese Global, Global Japanese. Yeah, it's a very pretty pothos. Has that tricolor variegation, which is something I just fricking love, where you have your normal green, you have a cream color in there, and then some lighter greens in the mix. No yellow. That's just a personal preference thing. I think it's fine if you like yellow on your variegation. It's just not something that I enjoy. I like that nice tricolor variegation, especially like this one. That one right there, that's a nice looking leaf, isn't it? I feel like the picture's really dark. I hope it's not that dark. The sun is not quite set. Not even close to setting. We're like two hours away, but that time of year where the house is up the hill, we're blocking it. All right, let's go ahead and get this guy unpacked. Find a pot for it. There is a company or a breeder really in Japan who has some awesome pothos varieties to choose from. This is probably one of the easier of the ones you get ahold of in the US, the beautiful one right here. And I believe that this is part of the lineage for your just green global pothos, but you know, it has all that extra variegation in there. Gosh, that's so nice looking. That was nice to include this. I just, will that just snap right onto this right here? I don't have to put that onto a... Oh, I don't. I was thinking I'd need to actually put this onto something else. Well, that's nice. I can go ahead and just hang this up straight away. Okay. I have a whole bunch of pothos of the epiphyllum aureum type pothos, that is. Mostly mandulas. Mandula is one of my favorite pothos. Absolutely stunning. Especially if you get them growing, you get some nice big fenestrated leaves on them. They are stunning. I have the snow queen, marble queen, whatever. I have a neon marble queen, which just a yellow looking variegation on it. I don't know why it has that name. Just any as jade, neon greens, your standards. I love them. I have a whole bunch. This is probably the rarest of them, if we're calling it rare. I don't, I don't know. I think that the word rare is highly overused with a lot of these plants. I'm going to try and put this up onto a small totem. Not right now, because I don't have one. And I'm actually going to grow this the way that might upset some of you. I don't know. Just take it easy on me. I have a tropical fish tank in the house and I love growing pothos out of my fish tanks. And I was thinking, hey, that would look cool growing up my wall. So that's what I plan on doing with it. However, I think that because of the cost, it was 45.99, it was $46 for this little bitty piece of pothos here. I think it'd be smart to grow it out some and then take a cutting and put that cutting in the fish tank and, you know, have them in both places. Main thing I always worry about with these pothos is just root rot. So I like to make sure they're not sitting in anything moist for too long or in the fish tank where they're stopping wet at all times. Different environment, that's warm water, it's oxygen rich and it's circulating. So I don't have to worry about the root rot when they're being grown like that. It would be pretty easy to put this up onto a moist little pole and get that climbing right away. As you can see, it already has some of the little clingy roots. Come on now. Wow, camera doesn't want to focus today. Didn't come to work. Well, you get it. Lots of aerial roots are ready to grab on. You're free, go and go swim. Waiting for my permission, like you haven't been in there all freaking day. Here we go. Goodness. I was thinking about repotting this. I mentioned that I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it until it got here, but I was thinking I was going to bump into one of these pots, but I think that would be overkill. Just on the note of talking about root rot and things like that, probably good to just leave it in here for right now. Then at the end of this season, meaning late September, mid-October, I don't know whenever it starts to cool off out here, then I can reevaluate whether I want to repot it or not. And I'll do that when it's going into my grow space under grow lights where I have, you know, heat and artificial lighting to get it going. I'll just take a cutting of it at that time because this feels really loose. Okay. I don't think that this is heavily rooted in here. I do think it's rooted. You can see in there, see right in there, how the soil is gripping to the bottom of the plant. So it's not just a fresh cutting shoved into the soil by any means at all, but also I don't think it's ready to have its roots messed with and be put into a new container. That's okay. We'll just wait. I got this fun hangers. I just go hang it someplace, right? Yeah. I mean, there's not a lot else to say. I just wanted to bring y'all along for the excitement of unboxing a new plant. It's one that I'm pretty excited about and hopefully it'll be around for a long time. You get to watch it grow into its thing, get the cutting going in the fish tank at some point and that'll start growing up the walls, which is fun. Maybe destructive to the house, but who cares? It looks cool. Drywall's easy to fix. That's no big deal. I don't get hung up on that. I've had lots of pothos grow up my walls before. Never been a problem because I have no issue with standing and spackling. If I did, then maybe I wouldn't do it. What are some of your favorite varieties? Like I said, this is probably up there. It's probably, I don't know. It's definitely in my top five. Manjula, that's my number one. I love the manjula. Manjula, manjula, I don't know. How do you say it? Manjula? There's all different ways. Could try and pull that off. And this is a very similar leaf to that one. Very, very, very similar. This is another reason that I wanted to go ahead and get it. I'm like, I want to grow this out some more and see is there really that much of a difference between this one? I may end up liking the variegation better on the manjula. I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see. I don't know why. It's really bugging me. I want to put this into a new container very, very bad. I think just because it's such a cute plant, but I know I should just leave it. Let it rest. Let it be. That'll grow and be beautiful over time. Yeah, there it is. Thanks for hanging out with the unboxing. I know, a short video, but this is a plant that I was pretty excited about. So I thought, you know, it's nothing wrong with giving it its own screen time and camera time. And then people can talk about it too. Do you have experience with this one? Any differences in growth behavior? I don't know. I would imagine probably not much. It's going to be some issues with sunscorch, right? So we have to watch out with that because there's so much white on there. And sometimes when things are heavily variegated, that can affect their growth rate and the amount of light you should give them. I've already mentioned the light thing. With pothos, usually the variegation is going to slow them down very much, at least not with the manjula and the snow queen. So I have noticed my snow queen, marble queen, whatever. It's a snow queen. It's basically pure white. That one gets pretty laggy very easily. So I don't know. That might end up being an issue with this one. We have to do lots of cuts and re-roots to keep it nice and full. I don't know. I guess we'll see. All right. Comment down below. Love talking to everybody. What are some of your favorite types of epiphrenum aureums to grow some of your favorite pothos? Just say hi. Be plant nerds together. All right. As always, the most important, everybody, keep on growing. Bye.
