The Dragon Tail plant has glossy, heart-shaped leaves that are typically green in color, but can also have yellow or white variegations.
Epipremnum Pinnatum plants like to be kept in warm temperatures, so make sure they are not placed in a location that is too cold. The ideal temperature range is between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If growing outdoors on a patio bring it indoors when temperatures outdoors drop to 65 at night.
During the summer months, you should water the plant once per week. During the winter months, you should water it once every two weeks. When you do water the plant, make sure that you use lukewarm water and keep the soil evenly moist. Self watering plant pots are good choices for these vines.
Dragons Tail enjoys humidity. If the air in your home is too dry, less than 45% humidity, you can increase the humidity around the plant by misting the leaves with lukewarm water once or twice a day.
Epipremnum Pinnatum plants prefer to grow in a soil that is well-draining and has a slightly acidic pH. A commercial potting mix designed for houseplants works well, or you can make your own by mixing together equal parts peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
Epipremnum Pinnatum plants also need regular fertilizing to stay healthy. During the growing season (spring and summer), you should feed the plant once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer. During the winter months, you should cut back on fertilizing and only feed the plant once every two months
It can be trained up a moss pole, shelf or other structures which will encourage better leaf size and fenestrations. You can let it drape its vines over the edge of tables, shelves or stairwells.
Epipremnum Pinnatum plants can be prone to pests like mealybugs and spider mites. If you notice any signs of pests, such as discolored leaves or sticky residue on the leaves, you should treat the plant with an insecticidal soap.
