Pothos Ivy, or Devil’s Ivy, is a tropical vine, native to the South Pacific. It can be easily trained to climb a trellis or trail from your favorite planter. Great for beginner gardeners, Pothos is an easy-to-grow houseplant with minimal maintenance. They are fast-growing plants with pointed, heart-shaped leaves that mature into variegated blends of greens, yellows, and whites.

Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light and will tolerate low-light areas. It is a great accent piece to your home décor or pair it with your indoor plant collection for a spectacular display!

Choose one with a drain hole on the bottom to keep the roots healthy or if your container does not have one, you can line it with décor stones or pebbles to create a draining system. The ideal pot size for a Pothos plant should allow room for the roots to flourish. Once they start growing out of the drain holes, re-pot to a container one to two sizes larger.
