Pothos

pothos plant

Pothos is a very beautiful and forgiving houseplant. An evergreen trailing vine, with heart-shaped leaves, this darling is perfect in a hanging pot or trailing from a high shelf.

Colours range from deep emerald to bright chartreuse, with some varieties offering mottled patterns in yellow and white. Pothos grows rapidly, and loves to be pruned. The cuttings can easily be propagated to give as gifts or add to your collection.
