Hanging houseplant for low light areas

BotanicGardens — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:26:45 +0000

Devil’s ivy or pothos is a popular foliage houseplant. It has heart shaped leaves that vine or trail far out of the pot. It often has variegated leaves with splotches of yellow or white. It needs bright but not direct light. Grow pothos on the wet side in summer and drier in winter. Pinching the tips encourages bushiness. Regular fertilization will encourage robust growth. Devil’s ivy is easy to grow and relatively free of pests.
It is great for office cubicles or low light rooms.
