Description
Devil's Ivy, known scientifically as Epipremnum aureum, offers a cascade of heart-shaped green leaves with regular splashes of gold that thrive in the forgiving warmth of a home or office. This trailing beauty makes an excellent choice for hanging baskets or as a climber on a moss stick, adding a touch of greenery that's both vibrant and enduring. Its foliage maintains a youthful appearance, especially in regions like Perth, making it a rejuvenating presence year-round.
Devil's Ivy is a low-maintenance companion, requiring bright, indirect sunlight and regular watering in well-draining soil to flourish. It's forgiving in care, asking for a light feed with a liquid fertiliser during the growth spurt in Djilba (early spring). Pruning can be done as needed to control its length and encourage more branching, ensuring that Devil's Ivy remains an effortlessly stunning feature in any space. Tendrils from Devil's Ivy can continue to grow and reach lengths of over 20 metres. Devil's Ivy has lost the ability to flower so it's a pure foliage plant.
