The older the plant gets, the larger the leaves get. I don't have any growing in my yard but I do have a couple of plants in containers that I've had for about six years or so, as well as some growing in vases of water.

Metrosideros Keaau, HI November 03, 2009 09:45 PM	Hi Lin! The Epipremnum aureum term is a synonym of the cultivar, Epipremnum pinnatum 'Aureum'. A synonym for Epipremnum pinnatum, the type species is Epipremnum mirabile. The PF is definitely in error.
