Design with this plant

Overview

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), a versatile trailing evergreen, is a staple for indoor spaces. With heart-shaped leaves marked by yellow or white variegation, it thrives in low-light. This hardy species can grow vines over 10 feet long under ideal conditions, but can be pruned for tidiness. It prefers well-draining soil and moderate watering, forgiving occasional neglect. A perfect accent in hanging baskets or climbing on structures when provided support. USDA zones 10-11.
