Description
An evergreen vine in its native Polynesia, where it uses aerial roots to climb up to 20m with enormous leaves that reach up to a metre across, Epipremnum aureum – or Devil’s Ivy - is a true jungle plant.
Luckily, as a houseplant it is much less vigorous, yet still retains large, glossy green leaves with yellow streaks which grow to 10cm (4in) long. The trailing stems will grow and grow unless you cut them back, making this an ideal plant for hanging baskets, or climbing up a support such as a moss pole and it looks fantastic cascading down shelving.
Incredibly tolerant of low light, Epipremnum will even retain its leaf colour in near darkness. They’re so easy and undemanding to look after, requiring just a little trimming to keep them in check, and avoid overwatering.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven performer.
House plants are a great help for improving our physical health and wellbeing by filtering harmful pollutants from the air inside our homes.
Supplied as a potted plant in a 12cm pot, growing to a height and spread of 2m (6½ft).
Top Tips
- Wipe dust from the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to keep the plant looking smart and glossy.
Care Information
- Position in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators.
- The ideal temperature is between 17°C (63°F) and 30°C (86°F).
- Epipremnum prefer a bright lightly shaded spot away from the direct sunlight which will burn the leaves.
- Water only when the plant is dry, preferably with tepid rainwater and allow the pot to drain well between waterings.
- Feed regularly between March and September, or when you see active growth.
Delivery Information
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
