Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue’ – The Metallic Blue Climber
Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue’ is one of the most distinctive and elegant members of the pothos family. With its cool-toned, silvery-blue foliage and sleek elongated leaves, this plant delivers a completely different vibe from the classic greens and variegates most people know. It’s modern, minimal, and effortlessly beautiful.
Native to the island of Cebu in the Philippines, this species naturally climbs trees, producing increasingly dramatic leaves as it matures. Indoors, it behaves just as gracefully, offering stylish trailing growth or impressive fenestrated leaves when given the chance to climb.
Why You Need It
Cebu Blue has a colour you don’t get anywhere else. The foliage shifts from soft blue-silver in low light to metallic steel-blue in brighter areas, giving it a subtle shimmer that catches the eye without shouting for attention.
As it climbs, it transitions from smooth, narrow leaves into mature foliage that begins to fenestrate and elongate, bringing a whole new architectural element to your space. It’s one of the easiest “glow-up” plants to own.
It’s fast-growing, adaptable, and consistently stunning — all traits that make it a favourite among both collectors and beginners.
How It Grows
This plant is a natural climber and grows fastest when given a pole, wall, or board to attach to. As it ascends, the leaves become longer and more dramatic, often developing splits as they reach maturity.
It does perfectly well as a trailer too, with long cascading vines that drape elegantly from shelves and hanging planters. It tolerates a wide range of indoor conditions and is less fussy than many popular aroids.
