This tropical, evergreen liana plant is a member of the Araceae family, which includes over a thousand different species worldwide. The plant is also known by the name Pothos.

The Scindapsus 'Aureum' is notable for its attractive, heart-shaped leaves that can display a variety of colours, from deep green to light green, cream or yellowish, often with an appealing marble pattern. The plant has the unique feature of being able to serve as both a climbing plant and a hanging plant. The plant can grow quite large, with stems that can reach up to 2 meters in length.

Care
The care of the Scindapsus 'Aureum' does not require much effort, making it a perfect choice for beginning plant caretakers.
