Description

Epipremnum pinnatum 'Skeleton Key' is a fascinating vining plant with striking foliage that evolves as it matures. Young leaves are broad and paddle-shaped, but as the plant climbs and ages, they gradually develop deep lobes and pointed tips, creating a silhouette that resembles an old-fashioned skeleton key. This distinctive form makes it a popular choice for climbing poles, trailing from high shelves, or as a conversation-starting statement plant indoors.

In Perth, it thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and should be planted in a chunky, well-draining mix rich in organic matter. Water when the top layer of soil has dried out, and maintain moderate humidity—misting helps during dry weather. Feed monthly with a diluted balanced fertiliser during the warmer seasons (Djilba to Kambarang). Train it up a moss pole for larger, fenestrated leaves, and prune occasionally to shape or manage size.
