Epipremnum pinnatum 'Baltic Blue'

Baltic Blue is a close relative of the better-known 'Cebu Blue' colour form, sharing the same cool silvery-blue-green leaf tone but generally marketed as developing more pronounced fenestration and elongation with maturity when trained up a support. Like the rest of the species, it stays compact and unsplit as a trailing houseplant but grows into a much larger, more deeply cut climber given a moss pole and time.
