It is the most forgiving large scale indoor plant available, which is why it turns up in every office foyer in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy a Devil’s Ivy Totem\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical form\u003c\/strong\u003e: The totem turns a trailing vine into an upright column, useful where floor space is tight but height is needed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf enlargement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Climbing stems produce noticeably bigger leaves than trailing ones, giving a more substantial look over time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariegation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Golden marbling brightens dim interiors, though the gold reduces in genuinely low light.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance of neglect\u003c\/strong\u003e: It survives irregular watering, dry air and low light better than practically any other indoor plant.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainment note\u003c\/strong\u003e: In tropical and subtropical Australia it is a serious environmental weed if it escapes into bushland, so keep it in a container and never dump prunings in the garden or green waste going to bush.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor screening\u003c\/strong\u003e: Several totems in a line divide an open plan room with living green rather than furniture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOffice and commercial foyers\u003c\/strong\u003e: The standard low maintenance interior plant for spaces with fluorescent or filtered light.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaded covered terraces\u003c\/strong\u003e: Works outdoors in warm frost free climates under full cover.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner filling\u003c\/strong\u003e: Adds height and softness in a dim corner where nothing flowering would survive.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 to 0.8m apart for a continuous indoor green divider\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 1.5m apart, or used singly\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Any time of year indoors, spring and summer for potting on\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e A quality free draining indoor potting mix, allowed to dry slightly between waterings, and never left standing in a saucer of water\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water when the top 50mm of mix feels dry, misting the totem itself so the aerial roots grip and feed.
