Every leaf develops its own individual markings, making this an especially striking large houseplant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the plant matures and climbs, its foliage becomes increasingly dramatic. Younger leaves are relatively simple in shape, while established growth can produce much larger leaves with the distinctive \u003cstrong\u003edeep splits and divided edges\u003c\/strong\u003e characteristic of mature Epipremnum pinnatum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied as an impressive specimen in a \u003cstrong\u003e24cm diameter nursery pot\u003c\/strong\u003e at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e125cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, the plant has already been trained onto a tall \u003cstrong\u003ecoir pole\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vertical support encourages its natural climbing habit and helps it develop larger, more mature foliage, creating an architectural column of variegated greenery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes the Variegated Form Special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beautifully patterned foliage sets this plant apart from the standard green Epipremnum pinnatum. Each leaf features its own mix of \u003cstrong\u003egreen, cream and white\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the exact amount and pattern of variegation naturally varying throughout the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome leaves may be strongly marbled while others contain smaller splashes or sections of pale colour. This natural variation is part of the plant's character and means no two specimens are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Does Epipremnum pinnatum Develop Split Leaves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its natural habitat, Epipremnum pinnatum climbs upwards through tropical forest vegetation using aerial roots to grip onto trees and other supports. As the plant gains height and maturity, its foliage changes significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuvenile leaves are smaller and relatively simple, but mature climbing leaves can become much larger and develop \u003cstrong\u003edeep divisions along the leaf blade\u003c\/strong\u003e. Providing a vertical support such as the coir pole supplied with this plant encourages that more mature growth habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight \u0026amp; Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpipremnum pinnatum Variegata performs best in \u003cstrong\u003ebright, indirect light\u003c\/strong\u003e. A position close to a bright east or west-facing window, or slightly back from a south-facing window, is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe variegated form benefits from good light to support healthy growth and maintain its attractive colouring. In darker positions growth may become slower, leaves may remain smaller and new foliage can develop with less variegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid prolonged strong midday sunshine through glass, particularly during summer, as the paler areas of the leaves can scorch more readily than the green sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the upper few centimetres of compost to dry before watering thoroughly, then allow all excess water to drain away. Epipremnums are relatively forgiving plants and are much more tolerant of being slightly dry than of sitting in permanently wet compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this specimen is growing in a substantial \u003cstrong\u003e24cm pot\u003c\/strong\u003e, always check beneath the surface before watering. A large root ball can remain moist considerably longer than a smaller houseplant, particularly during autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce watering during the cooler, darker months when growth naturally slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for the Coir Pole\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coir pole supports the plant's natural climbing habit and gives its aerial roots something to grip onto. Keeping the surface of the pole \u003cstrong\u003elightly moist from time to time\u003c\/strong\u003e can encourage aerial roots to attach more securely, although it does not need to remain constantly wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs fresh stems grow beyond the existing support, they can be gently tied back to the pole or guided around it. If the plant eventually outgrows the pole, a taller support can be added when repotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity \u0026amp; Temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its tropical appearance, Epipremnum pinnatum adapts well to \u003cstrong\u003enormal household humidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and does not require regular misting or unusually humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it warm and away from cold draughts. Temperatures of around \u003cstrong\u003e18–30°C\u003c\/strong\u003e are ideal, and prolonged temperatures below 15°C are best avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed approximately once a month from spring through to early autumn while the plant is actively growing, using a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce or stop feeding during winter when growth naturally slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowth \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpipremnum pinnatum is a naturally vigorous \u003cstrong\u003eroot-clinging climber\u003c\/strong\u003e. Given good light and vertical support, it can develop increasingly substantial leaves and create an impressive column of foliage indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove occasional yellow or damaged leaves at the base of their stems. Long or unruly shoots can also be trimmed back if required, and pruning can encourage additional growth lower down the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen repotting eventually becomes necessary, use an \u003cstrong\u003eopen, free-draining houseplant or aroid mix\u003c\/strong\u003e. A mixture containing ingredients such as orchid bark and perlite works particularly well. Move up only one pot size rather than placing the plant into an excessively large container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere Does Epipremnum pinnatum Come From?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpipremnum pinnatum has a remarkably broad natural range stretching from \u003cstrong\u003etropical and subtropical Asia through to Australia and the Pacific islands\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the wild it grows as a vigorous climbing plant in tropical forest environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts stems use aerial roots to climb upwards towards stronger light, with mature plants producing foliage dramatically larger and more divided than the juvenile leaves commonly seen on smaller houseplants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Is It Different from Golden Pothos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough they are closely related and often grouped together commercially as Pothos, \u003cstrong\u003eEpipremnum pinnatum is a distinct species\u003c\/strong\u003e from the familiar Golden Pothos, Epipremnum aureum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpipremnum pinnatum is particularly notable for the way its mature leaves become deeply divided as it climbs. Combined with its striking variegated colouring, a large pole-grown specimen has a particularly architectural appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStriking green, cream and white variegated foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery leaf develops its own individual pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpressive specimen at approximately 125cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlready established and trained onto a tall coir pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature leaves can develop dramatic natural splits and divisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVigorous and relatively easy to care for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell suited to normal household humidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates substantial height without taking up excessive floor space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA striking alternative to Monstera and Philodendron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePet \u0026amp; Child Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpipremnum pinnatum is \u003cstrong\u003eharmful if eaten\u003c\/strong\u003e and contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals which can irritate the mouth and digestive system.
