Default Re: Siam Ruby forms

It is Epipremnum aureum, Golden Pothos Vine. This is the common houseplant with small variegated leaves but if it can climb the leaves can get 1-2ft. long. There is also a solid green form ('Emerald Queen') and one with white variegation ('Marble Queen'). It is very common in central and southern Florida where it will climb to the tops of the tallest trees. It is very common around here in Orlando. This is diffrent than Monstera deliciosa. They are both aroids but not the same plant. M. deliciosa also climbs and gets a bigger leaf, up to 3 ft.long and has perforations. Now this one is often mistakenly called split leaf philodendron. That is an entirely different plant, Philodendron bipinnatifidum (selloum). It is self heading and doesn't climb like a vine. Both of these are also very common in the warmer parts of Florida.

The first photo is E. aureum, the 2nd M. deliciosa, the 3rd P. bipinnatifidum;
