Epipremnum 'Dragon tail'
Epipremnum 'Dragon Tail' is a captivating and robust plant known for its striking foliage and vigorous growth habit. This unique variety features elongated, lance-shaped leaves that are a deep, glossy green, often developing fenestrations (splits) as they mature, resembling the tail of a dragon. The dramatic leaf shape and size make it a standout addition to any indoor plant collection.
Native to tropical regions, the 'Dragon Tail' thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a warm, humid environment, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation. Its climbing or trailing habit makes it ideal for training on trellises, moss poles, or allowing to cascade from hanging baskets, where its lush foliage can be fully appreciated. With its relatively low-maintenance nature and striking appearance, Epipremnum 'Dragon Tail' is perfect for plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of tropical elegance and intrigue to their home.
