Description:
Epipremnum aureum, commonly known as pothos, is a popular houseplant native to Mo'orea, French Polynesia. It is an evergreen vine that can grow up to 20 feet tall, using aerial roots to climb. The plant is known for its heart-shaped leaves with green and yellow variegation, making it a decorative choice for indoor spaces. Pothos is an effective air purifier, removing pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. However, it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so caution is advised.
