How To Pair A Decorative Pot

For no fuss or mess you can place the plant in its growing pot (the pot it arrives in) inside a decorative one. This allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot. Here is how we measure and list pot sizes:

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in a rounded pot.

We recommend using a liner to protect your decorative pot and prevent leaking (whether placing the nursery pot inside or repotting directly into the decorative pot).

Care Instructions

When your plant arrives, follow these simple steps to help it settle into its new home.

For plant specific detail read our full Devil's Ivy care guide.

  • Choose a suitable place with appropriate light - check our Most Light
  • Carefully remove the plant from its packaging and allow it to adjust to its new environment.
  • Before watering, check the soil with your finger. If the top few centimetres feel dry, water lightly. If still moist, allow the soil to dry before watering.
  • Ensure the plant sits in a well-draining pot or nursery container, allowing excess water to drain away. (If planted follow our potted plant advice here)
  • Avoid moving the plant frequently during the first few days, allowing it time to acclimatise to its new surroundings.
  • Check your plant regularly and adjust watering and light as needed.

Following these simple steps will help your plant establish and thrive in its new space.

Plants often take 7–10 days to begin adjusting to a new environment -  light and temperature conditions - and some leaf movement or drop during this period is completely normal.

Top Tip

Trim any trail to length; it will branch where cut.

Scindapsus (Epipremnum) 'Aureum'

Large Devil's Ivy

Devil's Ivy has earned its place as one of the most loved houseplants in the world — endlessly forgiving, quietly glamorous, with marbled golden-green leaves that pour downwards rather than climb. This is the plant at full maturity: a 150cm trail, grown as a single dramatic cascade. No canes, no moss poles, nothing to hide — just a metre and a half of plant, ready to hang.

Most Devil's Ivy sold in the UK is a young plant with a few short trails. This is the finished article, the size that usually takes years of patience to achieve, delivered ready to transform a stairwell, a high shelf, or the corner that's been waiting for something living.

Nurture Guide

Happy in almost any light short of complete darkness — variegation is strongest in bright, indirect positions.

Water only when the top of the soil is dry; its fleshy stems store moisture, so when in doubt, wait.

Best space & place

Remarkably unfussy. It will be at its best in medium to bright indirect light, but tolerates shade better than almost any trailing plant — the variegation simply softens in lower light. Hang it where the trail can fall freely: above head height on a landing, from a ceiling hook by a window, or spilling from the top of tall shelving.

Watering & feeding

Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry — roughly weekly in summer, less in winter. It forgives a missed watering far more readily than an over-enthusiastic one. Feed monthly through the growing season if you wish; it will thrive regardless.

Pollutant Absorption Credentials

Epipremnum Aureum was among the standout performers in NASA's Clean Air Study, shown to help remove formaldehyde, benzene and xylene from indoor air — toxins given off by plastics, paints, furnishings and cleaning products.
