Epipremnum pinnatum starts life on the ground and climbs up trees in its natural forest environment, transitioning to an epiphytic lifestyle over time.

Native range extends from Northern Australia through Malaysia and Indochina into southern China, Taiwan, Japan, and as far as Melanesia[3][4].

In a flower pot, or at a smaller size, its growth is similar to many vining plants, following a drooping, creeping pattern.

The plant is not entirely drought resistant, and needs the soil it's rooted in to be watered weekly, or more frequently in a bigger pot.

It helps to provide good drainage to the pot, as standing water can damage the plant's roots.
