Scindapsus Aureum Aureum Epipremnum - moss stick

Scindapsus Aureum

Air purifying Scindapsus

NASA researchers discovered that the Scindapsus is in the top 10 of most air-purifying plants. The stomata in the leaves remove harmful substances from the air and absorb them. That is nice at home and makes the Scindapsus a great colleague at the office. Place it near the printer or other devices, so that the plant can also work there for a healthy atmosphere.

The official name of this plant is Epipremnum pinnatum, the name of the variety "Aureum". However, the plant is better known under its old name: Scindapsus aureum, simply "Scindapsus". The Scindapsus belongs to the Araceae family. The plant is native to the forests of Southeast Asia, where the leaves of the creeper can grow up to 100 cm. The European variety is a juvenile form of this plant.

They are vining climbing plants with fairly thick leaves. The leaves are green with yellow spots. When there is little leaf green, the plant needs a lot of light (but no bright sunlight). Nevertheless, this tropical plant tolerates dry and rather dark places. In winter, the plant can be placed in a somewhat cooler room.
