pothos
Heart-leaved indoor vine
Pothos is a tropical vine commonly kept as a houseplant, prized for its trailing stems and heart-shaped leaves.
It tolerates low light and irregular watering, making it popular for beginners: The pothos in my office has survived years of neglect.
Also called devil's ivy.
