Origin: Southeastern Asia and New Guinea

Epipremnum aureum, commonly known as Pothos (once classified under the genus Pothos), Silver Vine, and Devil's Ivy is an aroid native to southeastern Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia) and New Guinea. It is sometimes mistakenly called philodendron at plant stores.

It is a popular houseplant with numerous cultivars selected for leaves with white, yellow, or light green variegation. It is often used in decorative displays in shopping centres, offices, and other public locations largely because it is a very hardy plant that requires little care and is also attractively leafy. It is also efficient at removing indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, xylene, and benzene.
