Epipremnum Aureum (Epipremnum pinnatum) - Description

Epipremnum aureum is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, with a broad native Old World distribution. Native range extends from Northern Australia through Malesia and Indochina into China, Japan and India. The species has become naturalised in tropical and sub-tropical forests worldwide, where it has caused severe ecological damage in some cases (see below).

Blooms tiny, petalless flowers.

Epipremnum Aureum (Epipremnum pinnatum) - Growth

Evergreen, root-clinging climbers. Often seen as an indoor plant grown in window boxes or large terrariums. Pothos needs space as it will produce long vine-like stems. If the climate is mild year round, Pothos will grow up even the tallest of trees. They do best in bright, indirect light or partial sun shaded in the afternoon. Grow Pothos against wall, through trees, or over a pergola. In less hardy areas, raise plants indoors, as houseplants or in a warm greenhouse. A warm greenhouse has a minimum temperature of 55°F (13°C). During the day, temperatures should be set to 55-64°F (13-18°C) or above, and at night, the temperature should be at 55°F (13°C).
