Money money money

Epipremnum aureum
[Money Plant, Devil's Ivy]
Origin: Solomon Islands

This native plant from the Solmon Islands thrives well without much attention given to it as long as adequate water is available. A wooden stake is normally used to facilitate its creeping activity. Alternatively, this popular indoor plant is hung with its vegetative yellowish green runners growing and creeping downwards. The roots develop at the same node on the stem where the leaf appears. The sap is a frequent cause of irritation to skin, eye and mucous membranes. [A Guide to Toxic Plants of Singapore]
