Epipremnum aureum is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to Mo'orea in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. The species is a popular houseplant in temperate regions, but has also become naturalised in tropical and sub-tropical forests worldwide, including northern Australia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Pacific Islands and the West Indies, where it has caused severe ecological damage in some cases.[citation needed]

It is also called devil's vine or devil's ivy because it is almost impossible to kill and it stays green even when kept in the dark.[3] It is sometimes mistakenly labeled as a Philodendron in plant stores. It is commonly known as money plant in many parts of the Indian subcontinent.[4][5] It rarely flowers without artificial hormone supplements; the last known spontaneous flowering was reported in 1964.[6]
The plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Cultivation and uses
E. aureum with larger leaves
In temperate regions it is a popular houseplant with numerous cultivars selected for leaves with white, yellow, or light green variegation. It is often used in decorative displays in shopping centers, offices, and other public locations largely because it requires little care and is also attractively leafy. In tropical countries, it is found in many parks and gardens and tends to grow naturally.
As an indoor plant it can reach more than 2 m in height if it is given the adequate support (a tutor to climb), but hardly develops adult-sized leaves. The best results are achieved by providing indirect light; it tolerates an intense luminosity, but long periods of direct sunlight burn the leaves. It lives well with a temperature between 17 and 30 °C (63 and 86 °F). Generally the plant will only need watering when the soil feels dry to the touch. A liquid fertilizer can be added in the spring and it must be replanted every two years. However, it is a very robust plant that supports bad growing conditions. The plant grows rapidly in hydroponic culture.
It can be cultivated from a cutting, a part of a plant used in plant propagation. Cuttings however, can carry various diseases such as Erwina leaf spot, Pythium root rot, Rhizoctonia foot rot, Pseudomonas leaf spot, Southern blight, and Xanthomonas blight.[10]
The plant is able to remove indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, trichloroethene, toluene, xylene, and benzene in controlled circumstances (e.g. a sealed room).[11] A study found that this effect declined as the molecular weight of the polluting substance increased.[12]
The plant is sometimes used in aquariums, placed on top of the aquarium and allowed to grow roots in the water. This is beneficial to the plant and the aquarium as it absorbs many nitrates and uses them for growth.
