You’re sure to enjoy Pothos Krabi (Epipremnum pinnatum Krabi) in your collection. This new climbing houseplant is as beautiful as it is easy to care for. It tolerates low light (but does better in bright spots), grows in average home humidity levels, and is forgiving if you forget to water. But thanks to its Twist.Lift.Water.™ self-watering pot, you don’t need to worry about sometimes forgetting.  

Krabi features long narrow, medium-green leaves that are delightfully variegated with silver. Each leaf is different, making this plant a living work of art. You can grow it as a climbing plant or trailing plant. But if you let it climb, the leaves will grow larger and develop slits and holes (fenestrations), much like a monstera. This adds to its beauty.

Epipremnum pinnatum Krabi

If you haven’t heard of Pothos Krabi, you’re not alone. Our Plant Hunter was excited to find this variety and to our knowledge, we’re the only grower in North America who has it. Krabi originated in Southeast Asia and like many Pothos varieties, it breezed through our testing process.

How is Krabi different than other varieties of Epipremnum pinnatum?

•     Compared to E. pinnatum Marble, the variegation is soft and silvery, rather than white or cream. Marble’s variegation is traditionally, well marbled. But Krabi’s colors look layered in the leaves.
•        Compared to E. pinnatum Albo, the variegation is generally more streaky and doesn’t tend to appear in large patches or chunks. Albo is also significantly more white/cream in color than Krabi’s variegation.
•       Compared to E. pinnatum Cebu Blue, the leaves tend to grow larger faster and they are variegated. Cebu Blue foliage is an even silvery-blue color without silvery variations.

Even though it looks different, it grows just like other Epipremnum varieties. Krabi truly thrives in lots of light (natural or artificial is fine) and grows best when placed within a couple of feet of a good-sized, unobstructed east- or west-facing window (or under plant lights). It tolerates lower lighting conditions, but it won’t be nearly as happy and the variegation will be softer and less contrasty. Krabi can take some morning sun through a window, particularly in Northern climates. When it comes to watering, Krabi comes in a self-watering pot. Just regularly refill the reservoir from time to time (and don’t overfill) to keep it perfectly watered. The potting mix will stay evenly moist—but not too wet for the plant. This Epipremnum variety grows well in average household temperatures. Thanks to its tropical roots, it holds up to heatwaves so it doesn’t need special care during heatwaves. But it doesn’t like to be cold; try to keep it over about 60F/15.5C for best results. It prefers above-average relative humidity (over 50 percent), but does just fine in average relative humidity levels, especially if you keep it consistently watered.
