It is a quick grower, about 30cm tall in a pot and trailing a metre or more, and it is the classic low-fuss foliage plant for hanging baskets, shelves and shady corners. Keep it out of reach of pets, because pothos is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy for beginners.\u003c\/strong\u003e It asks for little beyond bright, indirect light and a drink when the top of the soil is dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick and trailing.\u003c\/strong\u003e It cascades from a hanging pot or climbs a post, so it fills space fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreen all year.\u003c\/strong\u003e The evergreen heart-shaped leaves stay vibrant through every season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForgives lower light.\u003c\/strong\u003e It thrives in bright, indirect light, and tolerates lower light conditions too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChanges as it matures.\u003c\/strong\u003e Older, larger plants outdoors can develop divided leaves, like a Swiss cheese plant (Monstera).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging baskets and shelves.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant one per hanging pot so the vines cascade freely.

Plant in a sheltered position and avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaf. Outdoors it suits frost-free tropical and subtropical gardens, and it is frost tender, so elsewhere grow it indoors or on a covered patio. Planted in the ground in warm, humid regions it can climb hard and escape, so we suggest pots or baskets there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e A free-draining potting mix in a pot with drainage holes suits it.
