Epipremnum aureum, commonly known as Golden Pothos or Devil's Ivy, is one of the most popular, resilient, and beginner-friendly indoor trailing plants in the world. Named "Devil's Ivy" because it is notoriously difficult to kill and stays green even when kept in near-total darkness, it features glossy, heart-shaped leaves splashed with beautiful marble patterns of yellow, cream, and green. Please note: Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans
