Question

I have a house plant which has tear shaped leaves it is green with cream mottling or spots ? what is it ?

Answer 1

Are they actually more heart-shaped with cream color mottling?  If so, I'd say you have a Pothos.  I have so many

of them  in my house!  If it is a Pothos, you can break off a

piece of it and put it in a bottle or vase of water next to a sunny window and it will root! So you can multiply them if you want.  My Mother used to call them Philodendrons, but I

think she really meat Pothos.  Feed it with a liquid fertilizer

maybe once a week and have it around bright light or under

flourescent lighting and you'll be amazed at how fast they

grow.  They are a vining plant, so plan to drape the vines

around something or have it in a hanging basket.  I believe

these plants are native to Hawaii.

Answer 2

Can you give more detail, there are too many tear shaped leaves out there to guess. Dark green light,,Is it a vine, how big.Are the leaves smooth, shiny, hairy? I'm not so sure it is a pothos.

Answer 3

a pothos maybe? Needs more detail

Answer 4

No it's a close relative of Pothos called Scindapus pictus. It's called Satin Pothos or Painted Devil Ivy.

It's a little bit more sensitive than the Golden Pothos

care for it the same way as the previous answerer said but be meore carefull in regard to drafts and cold temps.
