Vibrant, dramatic, and full of energy, Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Golden Flame’ is a striking climbing aroid known for its fiery splashes of golden yellow and lime across deep green foliage. Each elongated leaf looks painted with streaks of flame, creating a high-contrast, tropical statement plant. As it matures and climbs, the leaves grow larger and may develop natural splits (fenestrations), adding even more character and movement.
This plant shines when grown up a moss pole or trellis, where its bold colouring and form can truly take centre stage.
