Devil’s Ivy
Devil’s Ivy (Pothos)
Devil’s Ivy, also known as Pothos, is one of the most adaptable and rewarding plants you can grow. While it naturally trails beautifully, giving it a vertical support transforms it into a climber with a completely different personality.
When allowed to climb—on a moss pole, trellis, or wall support—it goes through a natural change where its leaves can become larger and more dramatic over time. In the wild, this climbing behavior helps it reach toward sunlight in the forest canopy, producing impressively big leaves as it matures.
It’s a great choice if you want a plant that evolves with its environment, going from a simple trailing vine to a bold, statement-making climber.
