Epipremnum moszkowskii

A woody climbing aroid known only from western New Guinea, first collected in 1910 on the Mamberamo River. GBIF holds a single specimen, so almost nothing is recorded about its ecology. Grow it like other lowland New Guinea Epipremnum: hot, humid and shaded, with something to climb.

Where it grows wild

A woody root-climbing vine of tropical rainforest. The only specimen with a locality is from Teba on the Mamberamo River, a lowland river basin in northern New Guinea covered in wet forest. Like other Epipremnum it probably starts as a small juvenile that finds and climbs a host tree, producing larger leaves as it climbs.

No elevation is recorded. The Mamberamo locality suggests lowland forest, probably below about 300 m, but this is an inference.
