I saw a bunch of Shangri La at a plant swap. I love Epipremnum, but not that one. It was probably the least popular plant there, even though it was cheap and it's pretty rare - but it's just so ugly! I sometimes see it sold as "Green Javelin".

I have Golden, Marble Queen, and Neon, and I've seen Pearls & Jade, Happy Leaf (pretty sure it's the same as Manjula) and Shangri La. Not actually a fan of variegation, so still looking for a simple Jade!

Thomas the one Shangdi La I have seen online was EXPENSIVE! I could;t believe it. I don;t mind contorted plants....I love my Philodendron corrugated aberrant form and Alocaisa triangularis...but I think the contortion needs to be spread out LOL. I wonder what Shangdi La would look like in its mature form....if it would still start to pinnate even though it is contorted....

Has anybody seen or have photos of some of the other cultivars besides standard golden with mature leaves?

I have seen the regular all green form, but no, other than something like Cebu Blue, which I have gotten to pinnate, and Epipremnum 'Skeleton Key' (which is a pinnatum, not an aureum) I have never seen any others that had been grown to the point of pinnating. This is the regular green form

I've only seen the golden. That's an interesting idea, though. I wonder if the marble queens and njoy etc look similar in mature form.

They should. I am just not sure anyone has ever bothered to grow them up a tree before. I have a Neon that is climbing up a Lime Tree, I am trying to see exactly what it will do in the future.

I'm interested in hearing about that too. Neon is probably my favorite.

This is a leaf off of one of my crawlers of Neon....I guess this is kind of what they mean by 'variegated Neon'...but it really isn;t...its just a random leaf on this branch that has a little of the original yellow streaked Epidendrum aureum on it peeking out

LOL I meant EPIPREMNUM NOT epidendrum!

This is an interesting one but its a species, not a cultivar of Epi. aureum...this is Epipremnum ajplissimum. Its long and lance shaped. It will be interesting to see what it does later on

Both are lovely! Mine has this odd splotches. My other neon is pure neon, so not sure what this one is thinking.

They just do this every so often. They are, after all, originally just an E. aureum that mutated. Some leaves are trying to mutate back. Xanthosoma Lime Zinger is the 'Neon' equivalent of X. atrovirens, mine get odd dark green splotches every now and then.

Ah, interesting. I didn't really know the backstory. How exactly does a mutation take place?
I think it adds character so I just leave them. They're kind of fun.

Mutation is caused by some insult on the chromosomal level. The most common cause is viral

I saw one that was much much more golden with little marbling, mostly yellow patches. and started looking. seems there is 'Hawaiian'/'Hawaiian Golden'/ 'Golden Hawaiian' that looks very close. Ever seen those? i'll get a pic of it ASAP Smiling as i see we don't have it.
of course, it's a guess ...
found reference to it at UofFL:
'Hawaiian Pothos' is another similar cultivar with more intense yellow coloration.
somebody mentioned it at houzz:
Epipremnum aureum "Hawaiin" is a true cultivated form of this plant. According to Aroideana Vol. 24, A Review of Epipremnum in Cultivation, Peter Boyce, it has leaves with dense but fragmented yellow variegation.

That is a new one on me. I don;t grow a lot of Epipremnum aureums. I have a few that I have had for a while, but TBH, there are just too many other cool aroids to grow that to collect all these that in actuality can look very, very similar to each other.

ok i took pics. the variegation is different from regular pothos. i don't know if it is Hawaiian ? but i don't know what other it could be.
it's growing in part sun in Miami FL. it gets some direct south sun on the pool deck of my building. So it is a landscaping plant (some cultivar from nursery).
