Often called 'Devil's Ivy' because it's nearly impossible to kill and stays green even in darkness, this Solomon Islands native is perfect for beginners. Its heart-shaped leaves with variegation can trail up to 10 feet indoors, making it ideal for hanging baskets or training up walls. NASA's Clean Air Study recognized it as one of the top air-purifying plants. Incredibly forgiving of neglect, it thrives on benign neglect better than constant attention.
