Epipremnum amplissimum

A climbing aroid from northern Australia, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Bismarck Archipelago and Vanuatu. It is usually grown in its juvenile form, with narrow elliptic leaves that often carry a blue-grey sheen, which fades as the leaves lengthen and broaden with maturity. Unlike E. pinnatum it does not develop deep splits in the leaves. Grow it as a warm, humid tropical climber on a pole.

Where it grows wild

Like other Epipremnum, it is an evergreen vine in tropical forest that starts on the ground and climbs tree trunks with its aerial roots. It gets more light as it climbs.

No elevation data were found; the genus is mainly a plant of lowland and hill rainforest.
