Epipremnum pinnatum 'Happy Leaf'
Only 3 remaining
Little glossy leaves splashed and speckled in creamy white and fresh green, each one with softly wavy edges – no two are ever quite the same. 'Happy Leaf' is a bright, cheerful trailer that lives up to its name, lovely spilling from a shelf or hanging pot.
Also known as: Happy Leaf Pothos, Money Plant, Devil's Ivy
Origins & folklore: The wild Epipremnum pinnatum climbs through rainforests from South-East Asia across to New Guinea, northern Australia and the Pacific islands. Up a tree trunk its leaves grow huge and split into feather-like sections – which is what pinnatum ('feathered') refers to. Indoors it stays small and leafy, making it one of the easiest climbers to live with.
Pothos are known as Devil's Ivy because they are so hard to kill and stay green even in dim corners. In India and across South-East Asia they're called the Money Plant and are said to bring good luck and prosperity to a home. 'Happy Leaf' is a modern, compact cultivar bred for its unusually white, marbled foliage.
Size: Delivered in a 12cm plastic nursery pot.
Care guide
• Light: Bright, indirect light keeps the white variegation crisp. It will cope with less light but grows more slowly and may turn greener; keep it out of strong direct sun, which scorches the pale leaves.
• Watering: Water when the top 2–3cm of compost feels dry, then let the excess drain away. Water less in winter. Drooping leaves usually mean it's thirsty; yellowing leaves usually mean too much water.
• Humidity & temperature: Average household humidity is fine. Happiest between 15–27°C; keep above 12°C and away from cold draughts.
• Feeding: A balanced houseplant feed once a month in spring and summer.
• Good to know: Because the leaves are mostly white, it grows a little more slowly than green pothos – be patient. Cuttings root easily in a glass of water.
Toxicity: Toxic if eaten. Contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause mouth irritation, drooling and vomiting in cats and dogs and irritation in people; the sap can irritate skin and eyes. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
