🌿 Epipremnum aureum (Devil’s Ivy) – Easy-Care Indoor Vining Plant
Description
The Epipremnum aureum, more commonly known as Devil’s Ivy or Pothos, is one of the easiest and most forgiving houseplants you can grow. Its trailing vines, adorned with lush green leaves featuring unique tannish-white variegation along the edges, make it perfect for brightening up shelves, desktops, or hanging baskets.
This variety of pothos has shorter, more rounded leaves than the standard form, giving it a softer, fuller appearance. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this plant is also an excellent natural air purifier, helping to improve indoor air quality while adding beauty to your space.
