AKA Devil\u2019s ivy. These bright leaves are tinged with yellow and add a splash of colour into any room in your home.<\/p>\n

Easy to grow and care for, their trailing stems can be draped around shelving or left to cascade down.<\/p>\n

The Pothos plant is particularly potent at purifying the air in your home, so you can inhale with ease. It\u2019s best placed in low light.<\/div>\n

String of hearts<\/h2>\n

Yes, it\u2019s as cute as it sound. These adorable heart-shaped leaves are succulent-like (but not<\/em> succulent) in that they\u2019re rather fleshy and easy to care for. \u00a0They flourish in bright light, but no direct sun please.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you\u2019re growing these outdoors, expect a super long trail.<\/p>\n
