What's eating my epipremnum aureum harlequin?

Epipremnum aureum 'Harlequin' is one of the most heavily variegated pothos cultivars; its large white sections have less chlorophyll and slightly softer tissue, making mealybug and spider mite damage more visible — and potentially more harmful. Keep humidity up and inspect at every watering to catch infestations early.

Silvery stippling especially obvious on white leaf sections; webbing on undersides; leaves may brown at margins Shower plant; apply neem oil or insecticidal soap every 5–7 days; maintain humidity above 50%

Cotton-like masses at nodes; sticky honeydew; highly variegated leaves may yellow faster than all-green cultivars Remove with alcohol swab; follow up with neem oil; consider systemic treatment if infestation is widespread

Tan or brown shell-like bumps on stems and petioles; slow growth; sooty mold on honeydew Scrape off manually; apply horticultural oil; repeat every 2 weeks for 3 treatments
