I legitimately didn't know that the Cebu Blue can get split leaves!! One more reason for me to put this plant on my wishlist! I absolutely love the look of monstera deliciosa, adansonii and rhaphidophora tetrasperma so this plant is perfect for me!!

Found a huge hanging basket at Lowe's for $20. I practically skipped to the car! I've had her a couple months and love the plant so much I scouted for a second one. Found another one today buried under 30 baskets of ivy as if an employee was hiding it for later. Mine now!🙃

Soaking the plant and pole might have help. Cutting the stems between leaves while it is still attached to the pole will enable you to pull each cuttings on both upper and lower part of the cuttings at the same time.

We commonly see the common form of cebu blue, which is the dragon's tail, here in the Philippines. Locally called "tibatib". It's even easy to find them around metro Manila wrapping itself on an old tree and concrete walls. The cebu blue variety is really rare, originally found in dense forest of Cebu island, hence the name. I have seen a lot of online sellers labeling the regular form as cebu blue, when in fact it's not. So be careful buyers out there. Though I personally love both of them. Even the regular form is a real beaty. Great video by the way!

I currently saw a video that described the Dragon tail as Bein the Cebu Blue hence the name and the one that looks like a Monstera as being the fake one. Many buyers are told the Fake one, which never has blue leaves is sold as a cebu blue, but later as the leaves develop and loose the Dragon tail form, it’s said to be a Young Plant? I don’t leave in the Philippines but why isn’t this plant BLUE when its a cebu Blue? I also have heard that both come from the Island of Cebu and are of the Epipremnum pinnatum art BUT one is Blue and the other isn’t? So what’s the truth? Logically I would suppose that if the plant isn’t Blue it can’t be the cebu blue.

Because of Sean, my new hobby is air layering now. hahaha

We have lots of this plant growing naturally under big acacia trees. I wish I can show you how beautiful the view is. Love from the Philippines. 🇵🇭

I was born in Cebu and my Cebu Blue Pothos is one of my most favorite plants in my collection of plants. Their color is so unusual and the leaf shape too. Mine grew so much larger after I repotted it and had it outside in much brighter indirect light. It has now become so large and so heavy to carry. It’s still in a larger planter as a hanging plant y but so tempted to let it grow upwards to start its fenestrations. Love your videos! Thank you again!

I recently saw a video from the winding root where she explained the difference between this plant which is the Epipremnum pinnatum and the Epipremnum pinnatum cebu blue. As this plant matures it develops a leaf similar to that of the Monstera Monster plant and NEVER turns blue. Whereas the cebu blue develops the color almost immediately, and doesn’t need to grow out of the adolescence phase to obtain the color. My question to you is although both come from the same island, WHY doesn’t the green plant turn blue if it’s the cebu blue? She also mention that Many Owners of the so called cebu Blue have in fact the fake variety as seen in this video. Simply based on logic or the process of elimination, I use the concept of, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, What is it. So please explain this, since you live in the Philippians.
