• Large Devils Ivy
• Leafy Green Houseplant
• Heart Shaped Leaves

Epipremnum aureum is a species in the arum family Araceae, native to Mo'orea in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. The species is a popular houseplant in temperate regions but has also become naturalised in tropical and sub-tropical forests worldwide, including northern South Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Pacific Islands and the West Indies. Scindapsus Aurea, more commonly known as Devil’s Ivy, is a stunning large, leafy green houseplant. This glorious climbing variety is planted with a central moss pole to aid the growth and height from this fabulous indoor plant. The large, heart-shaped leaves are fleshy and mostly green with flecks of golden yellow. Scindapsus aureum can be grown in semi-shade or strong light, warmth and humidity are essential. Use a good potting mix enriched with compost. For continued success, it will need minimum temperatures of 50deg F in the winter months, and not be subjected to draughts. Keep away from clod windows, thoughn well double-glazed units should be ok – but not over a central heating radiator. Water the plants regularly to maintain lush fleshy growth and try to aim for as humid a local environment as possible. It should be fed with a general houseplant feed throughout the growing season, but not fed during the winter months, when watering should be reduced anyway. However, be aware of the fact that if you house is well heated, it will require some watering during the winter – but not feeding. Mist spray leaves occasionally to clean. Cut back unwanted growth and pot trimmings up to grow on as new plants. If the pot can be stood in a pebble filled tray – topped with water - that should help with the humidity levels. Better still if it is surrounded by other plants in an attractive arrangement.
