Genus : Epipremnum
🏝️ Habitat Conditions
This plant grows in the tropical rainforests of the Western Pacific. It prefers warm and humid environments. Originally, it climbs trees, so it's beneficial to provide a support for it to climb upwards. It thrives better with prolonged indirect light rather than strong direct light.
🪨 Soil Mix
When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Generally, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, you can adjust the ratios based on the situation and environment.
🌡️ Environment
This plant thrives at 21-25°C and can tolerate up to 35°C. In winter, it can grow above 16°C, and maintaining it at 10-12°C is good for ornamental purposes. It can survive at 7-8°C when the soil is dry, but it may get damaged by the cold, so it's best to keep it above 13°C. Variegated plants are more sensitive to cold, so increase the temperature by 2-3°C. Maintain humidity at 50-70%. This plant prefers a humid environment like a rainforest. However, ensure good air circulation to prevent mold growth.
☀️ Light
This plant grows well in both bright and dark places. However, variegated types may lose their patterns if they don't receive enough light.
💧 Water
When the surface soil is dry, water the plant thoroughly. Drooping and thinning leaves or a lighter pot are signs of water deficiency. In such cases, water immediately.
🌱 Propagate
Propagation is typically done by separating a stem with a length of 3-5 cm and aerial roots about 2 cm long. 1. For water propagation, avoid using a transparent container. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots reach 5-7 cm, transfer the plant to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant the stem deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing the plant to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help it adapt to gentle light. Maintain high humidity and keep the temperature between 20-25°C.
🪴 Repot
Repot every 1-2 years in spring due to its relatively fast growth.
💊 Fertilize
This plant requires a lot of fertilizer. Using fertilizer at the recommended amount at least once every three months will promote more vigorous growth.
🌺 Flower
It is very difficult to see the flowers as they rarely bloom. Even with the right temperature and light, this plant blooms only when it wants, making it one of the hardest plants to see in bloom.
😵 Toxicity
Be cautious with pets and young children as it is toxic.

🔖 Care Tips
Variegated parts of a plant cannot photosynthesize, so they require more light. However, they can easily scorch under direct sunlight or intense light, so it's best to provide prolonged exposure to indirect light. Additionally, because they cannot photosynthesize as efficiently, their growth rate is slower compared to regular varieties. If there is insufficient light, the variegation may disappear, and the leaves can turn completely green. This is the plant's way of maximizing photosynthesis under low light conditions. In such cases, increasing the light exposure is recommended.
👀 Characteristics details
The leaves of this type of Scindapsus are smaller and thinner than others, so it benefits from receiving more light for longer periods. It can be grown as a hanging plant for interior decoration, but the leaves may remain small. To encourage larger leaves, it's advisable to provide a support for the plant to climb.
