Re: [aroid-l] common pothos

From: "Plantsman" plantsman at prodigy.net> on 2002.11.21 at 15:29:30(9629) I've seen them just as you described on the eastern side of the island of Maui, Hawai`i. They cover the trunks of the trees and go up fairly high. I've seen them at least thirty feet up into the trees and the leaves are totally different from the juvenile stage. They are over a foot across, almost square and deeply divided. Their color is a golden-yellow with faded green variegation. Most that I've seen were in full sun for the morning but were shaded by their tree during the mid-day and were in the shade of Haleakala volcano for the late afternoon. This area gets rain nearly every day or two, so it's a very lush rainforest area. I've never noticed any flowers on the mature specimens that I've looked at, but then again, they may be way up high in the tree. Maui has big brown or blue centipedes over 4 inches long that will put you in the hospital and they like to live in such places!
