{"title":"Pothos and Devil's Ivy","description":"\u003cp\u003ePothos is the indoor plant for people who think they cannot grow indoor plants. Also called devil's ivy, it trails from a shelf or basket, or climbs a totem, with glossy heart shaped leaves splashed in gold or lime, and it carries on through low light and a missed watering.

Keep it out of direct sun, which scorches the leaves. Trail it from a bookshelf, a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom ledge, or train it up a pole. In frost free, tropical gardens it also grows outdoors in shade.

Tubes are young unsupported cuttings you train onto your own totem, the slow and inexpensive route. The 250mm plants arrive already climbing, with the mature split foliage that makes this plant worth having.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube size is listed on backorder, so check availability before ordering. Plants are packed upright and delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Expect a fortnight of stillness while it settles into your light, then new growth. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant care guides and related reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/monstera-care-guide\"\u003emonstera care guide\u003c\/a\u003e, which covers the same aroid habits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrowse the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-plants\"\u003eindoor plant range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid the common mistakes in \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-indoor-plants-alive\"\u003ehow to keep your indoor plants alive\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair it with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-pots\"\u003epot that drains properly\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe around cats and dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Like other aroids the sap contains calcium oxalate crystals, which cause mouth irritation, drooling and vomiting if chewed.

Split leaves are a mature form that appears once the plant is well supported and getting bright indirect light, so tie the growth to the totem and move it closer to a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow it outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly in frost free gardens: tropical, subtropical and warm temperate.
