Q. I have Devils Ivy, Would it be invasive? In zone 9, Florida, with sandy soil. Also, is it possible to grow it in a pot its entire life, even when it gets huge?
Marion County, Florida
A. The Devil’s Ivy is also known as Pothos which is a desirable plant. It grows best in the shade both inside the house and outside. You can grow Pothos in most soil conditions and it can stay in a pot indefinitely. The longer it is in that pot the more water and fertilizer it will need. I have pothos in my back yard being used as a ground cover. It also will grow up trees. When it grows up the leaves get very big, as big as a foot wide.
