Epipremnum - one of themost popular among flower growers, indoor vines. In order to understand how diverse and decorative this crop is, one should pay attention to the types and varieties of plants for growing at home.
Plants belonging to the huge Aroid family in nature inhabit the tropical forests of Malaysia, Java Island, French Polynesia, and many other parts of Southeast Asia. Starting from a moist, nutritious soil at the foot of the trees, feeders quickly climb the trunks, easily reaching a height of 8–10 meters. House copies are more modest in size, but thanks to the breeders who created varieties with bright multicolor foliage, much more original in appearance.
Due to the huge number of species, the remoteness of their natural habitat and the ability to drastically change as they grow, most of the genera of the Aroids have not been studied enough. Therefore, many varieties of botany botanicals and potted plants are referred to as epipremnums, potosas, or rafidophores.
Scindapsus golden( Scindapsus aureus)
The name confusion most often refers to the seedling golden, most common in room culture. This plant, originally from the insular part of the Pacific Ocean, is often called the cirrus bunch or Scindapsus pinnatum, and is also considered to be among other genera of tropical vines of the Aroid family with similar leaves in shape and size.
The popularity of gardeners engaged in indoor plants received a flower due to its unpretentiousness, rapid growth and unique foliage.
At home, a grassy vine with pointed-heart-shaped leaves grows to 2–4 meters, needs a strong support, or is grown as an ampelous plant. In nature, this kind of bird plant perfectly climbs steep trunks, mossy stones and other surfaces with the help of powerful, tenacious air roots. Bright flower decoration - leathery smooth leaves with a length of 10 to 20 cm.
The older the plant and the better the care, the larger the leaf plates. At the same time in the shade the leaves are darker and more evenly colored than those that are under the scattered rays of the sun.
