It is a plant that can be confused with the pothos, but this species has "harder" leaves, and with much more marked nerves (in the aureum they are barely visible with the naked eye). But beware, it requires the same care: put it in a place with light (not direct), and water it from time to time.

El serrucho fern is an evergreen plant with leaves (called fronds) which they can measure about 40 centimeters long. These at first grow more or less straight, but then they end up falling, something very interesting since it is what makes it possible to grow it as a hanging plant. The only thing is that you have to put it in a room with light, and away from the windows since it does not tolerate direct sun.
