Species in this genus
The ones growers meet most — each links to its own page.
Epipremnum aureum
Golden Pothos
An easygoing trailing aroid that tolerates low light and irregular watering. Let the soil dry out well between drinks — it would far rather be too dry than too wet.
Epipremnum pinnatum
Centipede Tongavine
A tropical climbing aroid that scrambles up trees across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, rooting along the stem as it goes. It wants warmth, bright indirect light, and a chunky, free-draining mix; water when the top inch or two of the mix has dried out, since its roots rot if kept constantly wet. A moss pole or support encourages its natural climbing habit and larger, fenestrated leaves.
About the genus
A genus-level overview — shared traits, history, the botany that ties these plants together — is on its way. For now, the species and cultivars above and below carry the genus.
Kept true by its growers
Epipremnum keeps evolving — species move, cultivars appear, IDs get corrected. If you can place an unplaced plant or add a species we’re missing, the whole genus gets truer.
