Epipremnum are a very popular house plant due to it’s easy-care nature. Native to islands in the South Pacific, they can now be found in South Africa, Australia and Asia. Epipremnum are sometimes known as devil’s ivy because it is almost impossible to kill and can stay green when kept in the dark.

Caring for your Epipremnum

Epipremnum Sunlight

Epipremnum prefers indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight that will scorch the leaves.

Epipremnum Soil & Nutrients

Any well-draining potting mix will suffice for your Epipremnum. Apply a diluted liquid fertiliser monthly.

Epipremnum Water

Epipremnum are drought tolerant and won’t enjoy receiving too much water, so let the soil dry out completely between waterings. If you see black spots this is likely due to overwatering. Brown edges indicate the plant was without water for too long, but you will notice your Epipremnum wilting first.

Epipremnum Climate & Humidity

A typical household environment will suit your Epipremnum just fine, but extra humidity is preferable to dry spots, so avoid putting your plant too close to a radiator or vent. Feel free to give your Epipremnum the occasional misting.

Epipremnum Maintenance

Epipremnum is a low maintenance plant that can tolerate being neglected a little. However, it is a fast grower, so feel free to cut any unwanted growth and pop the cut end in water to start a new plant.
