‘Global Green’ Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) - Climber/ Vine Live Plant

Common name: Global Green Pothos
Scientific name: Epipremnum aureum
 
Description: vining plant with rich, green, heart-shaped leaves and smooth stems with aerial roots growing at each node. The leaves are mottled with with a variety of green shades, making no leaf the same. These are newer to the hobby, with them being made accessible by Costa Farms in 2020! These are naturally found climbing up trees in tropical forests where they anchor themselves to the tree’s surface, and some can grow up to 20m high with optimal conditions! This plant does well in bright, indirect light but can tolerate shade, and prefers a humid environment, like rainforest conditions, and will grow best when left to trail or climb. These look great in taller enclosures such as arboreal tarantula and mantid set-ups due to their climbing nature, but they will also offer great ground-coverage for more terrestrial set-ups. We do want to mention that some species will nibble on the leaves and roots if planted directly into the tank’s substrate, so bare that in mind when choosing what plant species to use.
Grown in 5.5cm pots.
