    Can you pot "Devil's Ivy" and a Philodendron toget

    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, :D it sounds like an attractive combination.

    I have potted Philodendrons and Devil's ivy together; they do well and look great. Good luck with them. ;D

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

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