Epipremnum aureum 'HiColor' – bright yellow-lime marbling on a vigorous indoor vine
Epipremnum aureum 'HiColor' is grown for high-contrast foliage in bright yellow-green, lime, and softer green tones. Instead of the broad cream marbling seen in white-variegated forms, this selection stays in a warmer, greener range and gives off a more saturated look overall. The leaves are glossy, heart-shaped, and lively without looking as flatly coloured as 'Neon' or as heavily marbled as 'Marble Queen'.
That makes it a useful middle ground within Epipremnum aureum cultivars. It has more colour impact than plain green or standard golden forms, but it keeps the easy growth and flexibility that make pothos so reliable indoors. Left alone, it trails freely. Given support, it climbs and gradually puts on stronger, better-sized foliage.
Where Epipremnum 'HiColor' stands out most
- Colour range: Leaves usually show bright yellow-lime and green in irregular marbling rather than solid colour or sharp white patterning.
- Leaf shape: Juvenile leaves are heart-shaped, smooth-edged, and slightly glossy, with a clean, even surface.
- Overall look: The pattern feels brighter and warmer than standard golden pothos, but more varied than a solid yellow-green cultivar such as 'Neon'.
- Growth style: Flexible stems can trail, hang, scramble, or climb depending on how the plant is grown.
- Indoor scale: With time, vines can grow well past 1 m indoors; supported plants usually build stronger growth than unsupported trailing ones.
- Texture: Foliage is smooth and lightly leathery rather than thin or delicate.
What is known about Epipremnum aureum behind the trade name 'HiColor'
- Accepted species: Epipremnum aureum, a member of Araceae
- Native origin of species: Mo'orea in French Polynesia
- Natural habit: Root-climbing tropical vine that uses aerial roots to move across trunks and other surfaces.
- Indoor character: In cultivation, most plants remain juvenile unless they are given height, support, and time to mature.
- Flowering: Indoors it is grown for foliage; flowering is extremely uncommon.
- Toxicity: Plant tissue contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is not safe for pets or people to chew.
Indoor care that keeps 'HiColor' looking clean and strong
- Light: Bright, indirect light gives the best balance of compact growth and clear colour contrast. It will tolerate slightly dimmer placement, but stems tend to stretch more and the overall pattern reads less crisply.
- Watering: Drench the substrate, then wait until roughly the upper third has dried before watering again. Constant moisture around the roots leads to more trouble than a short dry pause.
- Substrate: Use a loose, breathable mix that drains fast but does not become bone dry immediately. A blend based on potting mix or coco coir with bark and perlite works well.
- Humidity: Ordinary indoor humidity is usually enough. Around 40–60% supports smoother leaf unfurling and tidier edges.
- Temperature: Keep it in a stable range of about 18–29°C and avoid cold drafts, chilled windowsills, or a wet root zone in cool conditions.
- Feeding: During active growth, a balanced liquid feed at low to moderate strength every 4–6 weeks is enough. More is not better; excess fertilizer often shows up as rough edges or dull foliage.
- Repotting: Repot when roots have filled the pot heavily or when the substrate has broken down and no longer dries evenly. Go only one pot size up.
How 'HiColor' behaves when trailing, climbing, or being cut back
- Trailing growth: In a hanging pot or on a shelf, stems lengthen into loose cascading vines that show off the marbling well.
- Climbing growth: On a pole, plank, or trellis, aerial roots can attach and the plant often responds with stronger upward growth and gradually larger leaves.
- Pruning: Cutting just above a node helps keep the plant denser and prevents long bare stretches from building up.
- Propagation: Stem cuttings with at least one node root easily in water or lightly moist substrate when kept warm.
- Water culture and mineral substrates: This form can be transitioned to water culture or inert mineral substrates if the change is gradual and nutrients remain consistent.
- Routine upkeep: Dust on bright foliage shows quickly, so wiping the leaves now and then keeps the colour looking clear rather than dull.
When Epipremnum 'HiColor' starts looking off
- Yellow leaves: Most often point to roots staying wet too long, poor drainage, or substrate that has become too dense.
- Brown tips or margins: Usually linked to prolonged dryness, irregular watering, fertilizer salts, or very dry air.
- Long, sparse vines: Most often a sign of weaker light, delayed pruning, or a plant that has been allowed to stretch too far without being cut back.
- Small, tired-looking new leaves: Commonly caused by low light, exhausted substrate, strong root congestion, or missed feeding over a long period.
- Soft stems or darkened nodes: Usually indicate rot after cold, wet conditions around the root zone.
- Pests: Mealybugs, spider mites, thrips, and scale can all appear, especially on stressed plants. Check nodes and leaf undersides first.
Why the name 'HiColor' makes sense
Epipremnum comes from Greek and refers to growth upon a trunk, which matches the species’ natural climbing habit. aureum means “golden,” pointing to the yellow-marked wild type. The trade name 'HiColor' suits this form because the foliage reads brighter and more saturated than standard golden pothos without shifting into cream-white variegation.
Epipremnum 'HiColor' for brighter foliage without fussy care
If you want an easy indoor climber with stronger yellow-lime marbling than standard golden pothos and a livelier look than plain green forms, Epipremnum aureum 'HiColor' is a strong option. Give it good indirect light, a free-draining mix, and a sensible watering rhythm, and it will reward you with fast, flexible growth and bright foliage that stays useful in many setups.

An important biography of one of the major figures in China's transformation
Format: Paperback
A wonderful biography of Deng Xiaoping. There is more emphasis on the later as opposed to earlier years of his life. He was a survivor, having been purged twice by Chairman Mao Zedong. But Mao was not to be finished with Deng--keeping him on the backburner in case he needed his skills later on.
The book provides background for his ultimate leadership of China. Deng was "taken down" during the Cultural Revolution, an enormous upheaval of Chinese society orchestrated by Mao. Deng and his family were essentially "exiled." When the time came for Mao to recall him and address excesses of the Cultural Revolution, Deng was slowly put back into harness for a short period of time. The time came when, again, Mao began to distrust Deng and even put the cold shoulder to Zhou Enlai, Mao's long time lieutenant. After a brief exile, Deng was again readmitted into a leadership role.
The book then goes on to outline how, through political acumen and skills at coalition building, slowly became the # 1 leader, leaving Mao's successor out of power. The book has several areas where it explores Deng's career as leader. His role in upgrading the state of science and education is one focal point. There is a nice discussion of his reaching out to other countries to bring China up to speed in modernizing its economy, its military, and so on. The book also considers economic his economic policies, as Deng tried to jump start China's economy, based on fairly rapid growth (with the risk of inflation). His tactics to do this are described well. There is also discussion of his role in the military. He knew that the army was too large, too many senior officers had outlived their usefulness, and the war technology was not up to modern armies. How he was able to make progress in these (and other) sectors is fascinating.
The book also addresses what appear to be some difficult choices that suggest some problematic decision making by Deng. His invasion of Vietnam is portrayed by Deng as a major factor in addressing Vietnam's aggressiveness. I think that the book's author might have had a somewhat more critical take on this event. Too, there is Deng's decision to bring the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to Beijing to put down the Tienanmen Square protests.
After his retirement, his successors became, in Deng's mind, too cautious with the economy. There is a fascinating tale told of how he used his political skills to get China on a pathway toward more rapid growth. It shows Deng as a wily political figure, who even in his eighties could bend events toward his desires.
All in all, a detailed biography, overall well done, of one of the most important figures in the late 20th century. The book might have been even better with a more critical assessment of Deng's work at some points. Still and all, an important work.

Great book, so-so cover.
Format: Paperback
I must say, it is a top quality door-stop. My girlfriend gave me this book about six months before she left because she found it super informative, but I have to say that I knew how I would use it from the start. I mean, the weight of this thing could be easily understated by 0.2 to 0.3 lbs... The muted blue palette over the cover is an unobtrusive way to make sure the door stays open by just the right amount without it being too heavy or tough on hardwood floors (like a brick or a big rock). Why not five stars? The guy on the cover seems to creep out my cat. Maybe they should have put Mr. Bean or some other comically expressive figure on the cover rather than some random Thai guy...

Superb biography and history.
Format: Hardcover
I read this book prior to a tour of China a few months ago. I remember the old videos of China in the '60's and '70's showing the Chinese wearing Mao suits and riding bicycles. Now Beijing and Shanghai have freeways like L.A. filled with Audis, Buicks and other modern cars polluting the air. Much of the population dresses stylishly, particularly the young (many of them the "spoiled children" resulting from the one child law). They have a railroad that is an engineering marvel that goes to Lhasa, Tibet reaching an altitude of 16,000' on the way. Shanghai is the busiest port in the world and has spectacular skyscrapers. Do they have problems? Yes, huge ones including pollution of all sorts, lack of individual freedoms, a restless population among both the poor and well to do, rebellious minorities, and corruption throughout the ruling communist party. Still the changes in the last 30 years are astounding.
No one man is responsible for all this but Deng must get the credit for leading the country to a more pragmatic economic path. No small task after the multiple debacles left behind by Mao and his ideological fantasies. It seems to be that the more ideological a political leader becomes the further he becomes separated from reality - whether the ideology is left or right. And if the ideological stance is extreme they soon begin killing people. Mao killed some by intent and millions by incompetent leadership and egotism. Deng and his supporters led hundreds of millions out of poverty. He was no angel and was part of a bad system throughout his long adult life. But his life is a great story and I would recommend this book strongly to anyone with an interest in modern China.

If you have to read only one book on China, pls pick up this one.
Dr Vogel has done an amazing job writing about one of the greatest leaders in modern times. In order to understand the enormity of Deng's achievement, one needs to first appreciate the damage that Mao did to the country. Vogel gives a good background of that but quickly moves on to Deng. The approach described has value in achieving anything in life: Do more, talk less. Boldy try and if unsuccessful, adjust and try again. Choose good people, empower them and let them do their jobs. Respect the predecessors - watch his restraint at criticizing Mao - the man who made his life so miserable - 3 times!
While his adoration of Deng is obvious, Vogel was also able to describe the human and less admirable side of Deng, most obviously, his handling of Tiananmen on June 4, 1989 and how he punished his protege (and one many regards as a just and capable patriot: Zhao Ziyang).
China has gone through several leaders since Deng. But in spite of having all his history to learn from, none have come close, much less equalled the achievements of this great leader. Running a country is not easy. The larger it is, the more exponentially difficult. With more than a billion people, China is almost impossible to manage. Almost. Deng managed to and he did it extraordinarily well. This is his story. So well told that even Deng, would have approved.
At $17, you really can't get a better bargain. I'm ordering a few more copies to give away to friends who really want to understand modern China.

Great book for recent China's reforms.
Format: Paperback
The author did a great job, really great job on this book.
He has a deep understanding on China's rich history and how China gets where it is now. Mr. Deng is the right person for China, at the right (yet critical) moment. This book should be the "textbook" for any person who wants to know a little deeper about China.
Deng's life represents the recent history of China. A poor student worked/studied in France in 1920s, being bullied and discriminated. A student in Soviet who saw the system may bring broken China back together. A high-ranking military commander who fought in battles to bring China to true independence in his 20s to 40s. A party leader turned exiler worked in a factory in his late 60s. A father who has to take care of a highly disabled adult son(was a bright student in a top university in China, and was threw out from a high floor window in Culture Revolution). A compromiser grabbed the absolute power in his 70s. A great reformer changed over 1.2 billion people's lives. A ruthless ruler doesn't allow his goal being sidetracked(1989 crackdown of street protesters). And finally, his goal, a stronger China, is here today.
A great book.
