hi everyone it's Marianne
and welcome to My Wasteless Life
in this video I'll be sharing with you my epipremnum pinnatum pothos collection
thank you so much for joining me today
and if you are new
This is My Wasteless Life
where i take you along my plant and sustainable lifestyle journey
and share with you some of my tips and tricks along the way
in my previous video I shared with you my pothos plants that are under the epipremnum
aureum variety
and what's in my collection
for this video i'll be sharing with you my epipremnum pinnatum pothos plants
my updated pothos varieties and collection video is a four part series
you don't have to watch them in order but if you like to the different types of varieties
and what i have in my collection
see which ones you'd like to add to yours and what I recommend then please do watch
all four
the first part is up on the epipremnum aureum as mentioned
and the ones after these are on vining philodendrons and scindapsus plants that are often mistaken
as pothos plants
all those videos will be linked down in the description once they are up
make sure you are subscribed and hit the notification bell so you won't miss out on any of the uploads
i also recently came out with this book
The Ultimate Guide To Pothos Plants
which talks about all the different varieties
and as much as i love you all watching my videos and even doing multiple viewings to
find out what type of pothos you have
you might be interested in having all that information and more in one reference guide
book
so this is why i came out with this book
and this is now available in paperback and kindle format in Amazon
and if you don't have access to Amazon in your territory
it's available on pdf on Etsy
and I'm also currently having a birthday sale on the eBook
so go check the description for the link to that
unlike the epipremnum aureum this is a much smaller group
i'll be sharing up to six varieties of the epipremnum pinnatum
and i'm happy to say that i have all the varieties in my collection
well almost, but you will see
the first one i am talking about is none other than the
cebu blue pothos
when it comes to sentimental value this one wins
and not because of how i got it coz i just got this from Lowe's
but considering this is still considered uncommon in many areas including mine
and i found this at Lowe's about a couple years ago for under $20 in an 8" pot so that's
kinda a big deal
but the reason this has a great sentimental value to me is this variety originates from
the Philippines specifically Cebu
and not to clown on anyone's pronunciation of the word
you know i often mispronounce english words here
but if you are interested in learning how to properly say the name
it's pronounced SE - BU
not SAY-BOO or SEE - BOO
but SE - BU
as a pothos plant this is definitely one of the more unique ones
with its silver blue undertones it's the only pothos plant that has that silver blue
and it has a more elongated and textured leaf compared to other epipremnum aureum pothos
plants
among all the varieties i am talking about today this is the most accessible one
even though as mentioned earlier this is still uncommon in many places including in my own
area
Although when i went to chicago you could see from my videos this was pretty much everywhere
here i am always asked by my plant friends where i got mine especially the Plant Titos
and Plant Titas
and when i sell propagations off this they sell very quickly
the next epipremnum pinnatum that i added into my collection
is the shangrila pothos
and as you can see this is another unique one with its very wrinkly leaves which is
shaped as a cone or witch's hat
which is also what it is commonly called
so when the leaves first come out it will be shaped into a cone, very wrinkly
and as the leaf hardens it will start to open up like this one
but as it matures it will start to wrinkle back in again and form a shape of a cone or
a witch's hat
this is a very fun plant to have
some people also called this the wrinkled spinach co it does look like wrinkled spinach
after you sautee them
but this is not as pricey as other uncommon or rare pothos
at least when i got it i got it as a four leaf cutting for about $30 or $40
and once i got it i just placed it in moss and let it root
and it pretty much took off on its own i didn't have to do anything else
and it didn't give me trouble during the propagation process
it is a slow grower at first but once it has established itself as you can see it has been
producing lots of new leaves
it does have the variegated version called the shangri oohlala that comes with the yellow
(aurea) variegation
when i got this it was supposed to be variegated
a variegated leaf did come with the original cutting
but as it produce new leaves as you can see there's no variegation in them
but this latest leaf i did see variegation in it
so hopefully the newer leaves will have more vareigation in them as well
but this is such a fun plant to have if you like funky leaves
and like i said not as pricey.. yet, and not that hard to find in the current market
the next variety of epipremnum pinnatum that i'm going to talk about is the
dragon tail or tibatib
which also originates from the Philippines but this time in the Luzon region
and this plant when it matures and fenestrates it is often mistaken for monstera deliciosa
but in its juvenile form it is often mistaken for the Cebu Blue pothos
but how you differentiate the two is the cebu blue pothos will have that silver blue coloring
to it
while the epipremnum pinnatum dragon tail or tibatib would be simply green like a jade
pothos
and while most pothos plants are considered toxic the tibatib is reported to have medicinal
properties
it also has a variegated form the epipremnum pinnatum variegata
which is the monstera albo from wish
because when it also matures and fenestrates it looks like a monstera albo
although the epipremnum pinnatum variegata can still be very expensive
it can cost more than a $100 for a small plant but definitely not as expensive as a monster
albo
but if you want a monstera albo but you don't want to pay the high price it currently has
now
then you can look into getting an epiremnum pinnatum variegata
some also call this a variegated cebu blue but it is not
like i said the cebu blue has that silver blue undertone to it
and the cebu blue might very well have a mutated form that has the albo variegation in it
but the one that's currently in the market or what most people have is the epipremnum
variegata
which is the variegated form of the tibatib
this is my epipremnum pinnatum variegata i initially got this as single leaf cutting
in a plant swap last spring
eventually that single leaf died out and became a wet stick
and it did produce new growth and it is these two
and i cut off that new growth and propagated those
and the original node or the main node right here has started to push out new growth again
which i am excited about because i thought after i cut out the initial growth it has
become a spent node
so i am excited that this has a new growth point
but as you can see the leaves are not as variegated right now
the mother plant that it did come from is very much variegated
so i am hoping as it produces more leaves it will have more variegation in them
i've seen it with other people's epipremnum pinnatum variegata
it will start out with low vareigation but as it produce more leaves they see higher
levels of variegation
so i hope that is the case for this one
the last variety that i will talk about is the newest addition to my plant collection
and if you've seen my chicago plant haul, you already seen this
which is the epipremnum pinnatum skeleton key or
the skeleton key pothos
once i brought it back to maryland however, it went on the struggle bus a little bit
and it loss all the beautiful root growth it has
and that is my fault coz i took it out of the soil and repacked it for travel
and when i came back the roots just started rotting
and it was best to just cut it all off
and start all over again
so right now i have this propagating in water
i have the other one in my propagation wall up there
and this one doesn't have any root growth yet
just the root growth it initially had
but it started to push out new growth so i am really excited about that
because like with my other wet sticks
when i see new growth i am more confident and less anxious about the propagation
even though it doesnt have root growth yet
the new growth is always a good sign
so as you can see what i have here is the juvenile form
and it actually looks like an epipremnum pinnatum dragon tail or tibatib
but once the leaf matures this part down here it will narrow as you can see this one is
already starting to narrow
but this part will remain wide
hence forming the shape of a key
so that's why it is called the skeleton key pothos
the care for the epipremnum pinnatum is very similar to the aureum
they are low maintance easy care plants
but maybe because these plants are more on the uncommon or rare side
i do pay a little bit more attention to them than i do with my epipremnum aureum pothos
plants
but as far as their level of finnickyness
they are not finnicky at all
once i get them through their propagation stage
as you can see a couple of my plants are still in the propagation stage
once i get them through that they are pretty much the same as my other pothos plants
once they have become established plants
and if you want more detailed instructions on how to propagate pothos plants
i do have very detailed videos on them and the links will be down in the description
as well
