Pothos Skeleton Key

Pothos Skeleton Key (Epipremnum pinnatum 'Skeleton Key')

The Skeleton Key Pothos is one of the most distinctive and conversation-starting varieties in the Pothos family. Its leaves are long and narrow with a unique asymmetrical lobing — one side of the leaf develops a deep, finger-like lobe that gives it the unmistakable silhouette of an old skeleton key. It's a fast-growing, easy-care trailing plant with all the forgiving qualities Pothos are known for, but with a leaf shape that genuinely stands out on any shelf or hanging display.
