Pothos is one of the
easiest houseplant to grow. Its
botanical name is Epipremnum aureum or Scindapsus aureus. But it is often referred
as devil’s ivy or variegated philodendron. These plants can do well in indirect
lights. One of the special features of this plant is that it can be grown both
in water or in dry soil. Pothos are incredibly easy to root from cuttings. A part
of of mother plant can be cut and rooted
in water . pothos also be grown in soil . they will thrive well in nutrient rich
soil but do almost in nutrient poor soil
as well.
The natural form of Pothos is a
trailing vine. Fluorescent light is acceptable as a light source. Its leaves
are pointed heart shaped and can be green or variegated in white, yellow or a
paler green. The leaf sizes vary with varieties and growing condition as well. The
one that I had is green with white combination. I consider them as a best
decorative plant as I can decorate the windows with them. The climbing/trailing
habit makes them extremely decorative .Pothos plants prefer to dry out between watering.
Pothos are poisonous too. The plant can cause
irritation and vomiting if ingested due to the fact that it contains calcium
oxalates. It is considered toxic to cats, dogs and children. It makes them very
sick.
