Genus guide
Epipremnum — 24 species
Part of the Aroids family (Araceae)
Epipremnum is the genus behind pothos, one of the most popular and forgiving houseplants in cultivation. Golden pothos, Marble Queen, and Neon pothos all adapt readily to a wide range of light conditions — from bright indirect light, where growth is fastest and variegation most vivid, to lower-light interiors where they simply slow down. Allow the top inch or two of potting mix to dry between waterings. All Epipremnum species are toxic to cats and dogs; insoluble calcium oxalate crystals cause oral irritation, drooling, and vomiting on ingestion.
