Pothos scandens

From: RAYMOMATTLA at cs.com on 2005.01.03 at 00:48:12(12533) Anybody growing this odd Asian climber? Ive been hunting for it for a while but with little success. There are several Indian companies that offer it for sale so I might give it a try. I have heard it is quite hard to get rooted as a cutting. Anyone had success with it?

Best to lift one of the runners into a pot of rooting mix and give it a year to get established. it is a cute plant -but slooow. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "Gary" doji at hawaii.rr.com> on 2005.01.09 at 04:35:08(12563) Hi Michael, The University of Connecticut has an accession number for Pothos scandens var. cognatus and has two plants as of 9/24/04. See http://florawww.eeb.uconn.edu/acc_num/198500924.html I was going to offer to send you a 3 meter tip cutting or more, but it turns out the local plant is Epipremnum aureum, (maybe). There seems to be some confusion as to exactly which species it is, but it is locally known as a Pothos species. Checking the nurseries here, no one claims to have Pothos scandens. Sorry. +More Gary in Hilo, HI _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: RAYMOMATTLA at cs.com on 2005.01.09 at 18:43:28(12566) Gary, Thanks so much for your help. Pothos is a completely seperate genus from Epipremnum. The mistake of calling E. aureum, "Pothos or Golden Pothos" is all too common in the continental US as well. I think at one point it was considered to be in the genus Pothos, then switched to Rhaphidophora (Ive seen it listed as that too), then to Epipremnum, or at least something like that. Peter has a wonderful article in the last Aroideana explaining in detail the cultivated forms of Epipremnum. I think there has been lots of discussion here on Aroid-L too. The greenhouses at U of Conn. look to have a very nice collection. I wouldnt mind visiting there one day. Thanks for the link and again for the offer, (and checking around for me.)
