it is not the type that will give good practice keeping plants, as its very tolerant of poor conditions, however it can be an index plant for light intesity.
- noirbot 5y agoWhat do you mean by "index plant for light intensity"? I have one and I've noticed that I've had pretty hard time keeping different vines of it alive, but the plant itself has done fine. It's definitely touchier than my snake grass. I water that maybe every 2 weeks and it's growing like mad.
- rolph 5y agothe leaf colouration will change dark green in lower light, or enhanced yellows and varigation in high light intensity, so if you have no light meter it is an index of where your light intensity is. yes epipremnum will make trailers but is not great at being a vine, it is better at being a creeper unless you have rain forest like conditions. it will ^tolerate^ repeated dryouts rather than give up, if given time to heal between droughts extremes of forced growth habit ive seen range from monsterous orchid like with aerial root structures, to life supporting tendrils of bare nodes running several yards away from a single gallon pot to find a slot of light and grow small tufts of leaves at the terminal.
