Epipremnum aureum ‘Variegated’, commonly called Variegated Devil’s Ivy, is a tender evergreen climber prized for its lush foliage and elegant colour patterning. It produces heart-shaped leaves that are slightly puckered and beautifully marbled with shades of green, cream, and pale yellow. The leaves grow along slender, twining stems that trail or climb depending on support. This variety retains a graceful balance between structure and softness, making it suitable for hanging baskets, tall planters, or decorative shelves. In lower light, the leaves may shift to a deeper green, while brighter conditions encourage stronger variegation.

Growing Conditions

Epipremnum aureum ‘Variegated’ thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates moderate shade. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the foliage. The plant prefers warm temperatures between eighteen and twenty-four degrees Celsius and consistent humidity. A free-draining, peat-free compost allows excess water to escape easily, reducing the risk of root rot. Water when the top few centimetres of soil begin to dry, and mist occasionally to refresh the leaves. It grows readily in both trailing and climbing positions, adapting to various decorative arrangements.

Care and Maintenance

This houseplant is easy to maintain. Trim back long stems to encourage bushier growth and control length. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their shine. Feed every four to six weeks during spring and summer using a diluted, balanced fertiliser. Repot every few years to provide fresh nutrients and space for new roots. Its resilience and forgiving nature make it ideal for beginners or those seeking a low-care indoor feature.

Environmental Benefits

Epipremnum aureum ‘Variegated’ purifies indoor air and introduces a sense of calm through its cascading greenery. Its trailing habit adds softness and movement to modern or traditional interiors.
