Truly a loveable rogue (the common name 'Devil's Ivy' is said to stem from the near impossibility to kill it). This adaptable plant has been a stalwart of interior planting fans for decades. Merrily tumbling from tall shelves or hanging planters, this fast-growing vine will soon bring a touch of Tarzan to your lounge. 

Especially happy when encouraged to climb, (we say encourage: it doesn't take much), the mature form of those handsome glossy leaves will slowly emerge, becoming steadily larger and sometimes even developing splits and holes akin to Monstera (a very distant relative).

Ideal for novices, this forgiving specimen has a high tolerance for neglect. 

Show some sympathy to this devil, though, and you'll have a plant that thrives. Given bright indirect light and a consistent watering schedule, you'll have a plant which just goes and goes...and goes.
