What's going on everyone? Welcome back to the podcast. So today we're talking about probably the most basic house plant that you can grow. It's certainly one of the easiest ones.

But unlike some of the other very simple house plants. This one has a few cool varieties,

so you can grow a few different varieties

of a simple plant and have a nice cool house plant

in your home.

And this would be the Pothos plant.

This is Epipremum Oreum. Now what's interesting, before we get into the care,

there's a little bit of interesting history about this plant. So first of all, it was native to the island of

Muraya in the Society Islands, which I believe is in French Polynesia.

That is where it was found.

Now today it is invasive in many different tropical countries because of how easy it is to care for, which means that in a native, or sorry, a

non-native environment, it's going to go crazy and become quite invasive.

This is what's cool about this plant.

It has a lot of interesting naming convention issues.

So it's a plant that should produce a flower, but since 1962,

either in the wild or in cultivation has not produced one which means that it's very

difficult to classify it because what a lot of people will do when they're classifying a

plan is they will look at the full structure of the plant and of course a plant that flowers

the flower would be an important thing to look at if you're trying to name the plant.

So this plant has a long history of different names, different Latin names.

It's settled upon epipremum orium right now,

but it has held the scindapsis and the raffodophora
