Naming
Golden Pothos, or Epipremnum aureum, is also known as Ceylon Creeper, Hunter's Robe, Ivy Arum, and Devil's Ivy, due to its resistance to death and its tendency to stay green in dark conditions.
Origin
The Golden Pothos is native to French Polynesia, but can be found in subtropical forests around the world. Its most prized characteristics as a houseplant, prolific growth and tolerance of a wide variety of conditions, are also what have aided in its reputation as an invasive species in tropical and subtropical forests around the world.
