The Epipremnum, also known as the "Scindapsus”, is a popular indoor plant due to its air-purifying properties and easy care. The plant has heart-shaped leaves that are often green with white or yellow spots. Epipremnums thrive in areas with indirect light and regular watering, but they can also survive in less than ideal conditions. The plant grows quickly and can develop long vines that climb up a support. They are toxic to pets if ingested, so it is important to keep them out of reach of curious animals.
