Epipremnum aureum
Devil’s ivy is a low maintenance
perennial evergreen. It is
commonly grown as a
houseplant, but outside in a
fairly sheltered location is also
fine. It has beautiful glossy,
green or variegated leaves on
cascading stems, which also
makes it a good candidate for
hanging baskets.
Devil’s ivy is a very easy to
grow, preferring medium light,
but not direct sunlight. Mist
the leaves to keep humidity
levels up and let the potting
medium dry out between
watering. Fertilize every other
month except when the plant
is dormant in the winter. Wipe
down the leaves every so often
with a soft rag to remove any
collected dust. Prune stems
