A brilliant plant that requires minimal attention with maximum rewards is the Pothos – also know as Devil’s Ivy and a whole bunch of other names.

I love my Pothos because all you have to do is simply get a little branch and put it in some water. Then watch the roots sprout and eventually transfer it to a pot.

Give it some sort of support to tie it onto, maintain it and it drapes quite nicely down wherever you put it.

My one is up on the bookshelf and it has come quite a long way from the one leaf stem that I started it with.

I do have another one that I’m trying in a test tube. The roots have grown quite large so I might need to put it in a larger pot of water and I might even take another stem of the original plant and try another one.

Pothos plants are very easy to take care of and it looks quite stunning draped over a shelf or up in a high place or even some shady spot in the garden. I do like the marble pattern and it’s also got a yellow streak through the green leaves – absolutely stunning!
