I own a Scindapsus aureus (devil's ivy) and a Philodendron cordatum 'Brazil'.

I have many new starts and I was wondering if they will grow in the same pot (or vase) together without killing one another. Has anyone tried this before?

Hi Heather,
I like containers of mixed plants, and I often do pot things together, as you describe.
Both of the plants you mention like the same sort of growing conditions,
light levels, moisture, etc. so I, personally, wouldn't hesitate to plant them together,
they should co-exist happily, Mr. Green it sounds like an attractive combination.

I agree with Zuzu and would definately plant them together. You must show us a piccie of them once they are potted up. Very Happy

I like plants mixed. I think it gives more dimension and interest to the plant. And I have mixed these two before Smile

Sure, but the Scindapsus aureus will grow faster, bigger and stronger than the tender cordatum as time goes by.
