Epipremnum ceramense

A little-known climbing aroid from the rainforests of the Moluccas, named after the island of Seram (Ceram). Like other Epipremnum it is a woody root-climber that starts in shade and climbs tree trunks. Almost nothing species-specific is published, so these care notes follow the genus and its lowland Malesian climate.

Where it grows wild

It grows in rainforest as a woody vine clinging to trunks with aerial roots. Juveniles start in shade near the forest floor and climb towards brighter light. No detailed habitat notes were found for this species.

Only two specimens carry an elevation, both about 500 m. It is probably a lowland to hill-forest plant, but this is not confirmed.
