Epipremnum aureum · Araceae
| Light | Low to bright indirect. Variegated forms need brighter light to keep their pattern. |
| Water | Water when the top few centimetres are dry. It visibly droops when thirsty and recovers within hours. |
| Humidity | Fine anywhere; enjoys extra humidity. |
| Soil | Standard potting mix with a little perlite. |
| Temperature | 18–27°C |
| Pets | Toxic to cats and dogs if chewed. |
Cuttings root in plain water in about two weeks, which makes it the best plant to learn propagation on.
What you see: New growth comes in plain green
What it usually means: Not enough light. Move it brighter and prune back the plainest vines.
What you see: Several leaves yellow at once
What it usually means: Usually overwatering. One occasional yellow old leaf is normal.
What you see: Leaves only at the tips
What it usually means: Light, plus a need for pruning. Cut back hard — it branches from the cut.
