Meet Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Cebu Blue Ghost’, the plant world’s version of cool-toned minimalism. This is the lighter, rarer form of Cebu Blue, prized for its silvery, icy blue foliage that almost looks washed in moonlight. Subtle, elegant, and quietly collectible.
This isn’t a loud variegated plant. This one whispers.
Look & Personality
Leaves: Long, narrow, and slightly curved with a soft matte texture.
Colour: Pale silvery-blue to minty grey. New growth is often very light and can darken slightly with age.
Growth habit: Climbing or trailing vine. Grows faster once established and given support.
Mature form: With height and maturity, leaves can develop fenestrations (splits).
The Ghost is all about tone and texture, not contrast.
What Makes It “Ghost”?
The Ghost form has reduced chlorophyll, which gives it that pale, frosty look. Because of this:
Growth is slower than standard Cebu Blue
Bright indirect light is essential
Colour can revert if light is too low
Ghost plants are naturally more delicate than green forms.
Pet & Reptile Safety
⚠️ Important: NOT pet or reptile safe.
Like all Epipremnum varieties, Cebu Blue Ghost contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause irritation or digestive upset if ingested by cats, dogs, or reptiles. Keep safely out of reach.
Care Guide
A little more intentional than standard pothos, but still very manageable:
Light: Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain ghost colouring. Low light = reversion. Avoid harsh direct sun.
Watering: Allow the top layer of soil to dry before watering. Overwatering can quickly cause root issues.
Soil: Well-draining, airy mix with perlite or bark.
Support: Highly recommended. Climbing encourages larger leaves and maturity.
Humidity: Appreciated but not mandatory. Normal indoor humidity works fine.
Temperature: Warm conditions above 15°C.
Troubleshooting
Leaves turning greener: Not enough light. Move to brighter indirect light.
Slow growth: Normal for Ghost forms. Patience required.
Yellow leaves: Often overwatering or poor drainage.
No fenestrations: Totally normal until mature and climbing.
