Epipremnum aureum Jade Pothos

Common Name:
Jade Pothos, Devil’s Ivy, Money Plant

Description:
Epipremnum aureum 'Jade', commonly known as Jade Pothos, is a robust and adaptable evergreen vine native to the Solomon Islands. It features deep green, heart-shaped leaves that provide a lush, tropical aesthetic. Unlike its variegated counterparts, Jade Pothos boasts uniform green foliage, making it a versatile choice for various interior styles. In Melbourne's climate, it thrives as an indoor plant, tolerating a range of lighting conditions from low to bright, indirect light. The plant prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top layer becomes dry, reducing frequency during cooler months. High humidity levels are beneficial but not essential, and occasional misting can help maintain its vibrant appearance. Jade Pothos is an excellent air purifier and is known for its ease of care, making it ideal for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. While it rarely flowers indoors, its primary appeal lies in its attractive foliage.
