Philodendron Cebu Blue
Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue’ · Native to the Philippines
A fast, easy trailing vine with slender, silvery blue-green leaves that shimmer in the light. It trails or climbs beautifully — and given a pole and time, its leaves grow larger and even fenestrate.
Available in 6 inchCare
Light
Cebu Blue does best in medium to bright, indirect light and keeps its bluish hue in these conditions. Avoid harsh direct sun.
Water
Water regularly in summer, cutting back in colder temperatures (around 55°F or lower). Water thoroughly and let the excess drain; don’t let it sit in water. It prefers high humidity — place near a humidifier or in a humid room such as a bathroom or kitchen, and keep it away from drafty windows in winter.
Soil & Feeding
Use a moist but well-draining soil. Fertilize once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Plant Bio
Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue’ · the Cebu Blue Pothos
Cebu Blue is a beautiful trailing aroid originally found in the Philippines (named for the island of Cebu). Although it’s often sold as a philodendron, it’s botanically an Epipremnum — a close cousin of pothos — and it shares that group’s easy, forgiving nature.
Its signature is color and shape: slender, spear-shaped leaves in a shimmery silvery blue-green that catches the light. In its juvenile form (how it’s usually grown) the leaves stay small and solid, but given a pole to climb and time to mature, they grow much larger and develop natural splits and holes (fenestrations).
Care is simple: medium to bright indirect light keeps the blue tones vivid, water when the top inch dries, and give it warmth and humidity. It dislikes cold, so keep it away from drafty winter windows.
Fast, striking, and easy — just keep it out of reach of pets and children, as it’s toxic if chewed.
Is it really a philodendron?
- No — it’s an Epipremnum (pothos relative), despite the name.
- Juvenile leaves are small; mature climbing leaves fenestrate.
- Wants warmth and humidity; dislikes the cold.
- Toxic if ingested; sap can irritate skin.
Note: Toxic if ingested and the sap can irritate skin. Keep away from pets and children. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
