Pothos | Epipremnum pinnatum cv
Pothos is a classic houseplant that can tolerate low light and is known for its trailing stems of variegated leaves. Also commonly called devils ivy, the scientific name is Epipremnum pinnatum cv. It�s a great option if you want to add a pop of green to a dark corner of your home. Varieties come in light almost yellow tones (often called Golden Pothos) to deep greens with a variety of tones through the leaves. The Pothos is one of the easiest plants to propagate and you can leave the stems in water forever without needing to plant in soil. We like to place potted or hydroponic pothos on butler�s pantry shelves, cascading down.
