Epipremnums are tropical plants prized for their lush, trailing or climbing vines and thick, vibrant leaves. Native to tropical forests stretching from China and the Himalayas through Southeast Asia to Australia and the western Pacific, they have also naturalized in many other warm climates around the world.

These plants are especially popular as houseplants due to their ease of care, adaptability to various light conditions, and preference for consistently moist, well-draining soil. Known for their astonishingly fast growth, Epipremnums thrive indoors and are commonly displayed in hanging baskets or trained to climb moss poles or trellises.
