Take a look at this one, Charles, and see if it resembles what you are growing... http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/4681/
Notice that it is referred to as "heart shaped philodendron" but it is actually the
Epipremnun aureum plant.
Charles,
It will be up to you if you agree with us and want the pictures moved to the Pothos page...an administrator will have to contacted through the "report an error" link that is in red at the top of the picture's page: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/736/index.html
You have a wonderful plant, wish I could grow one up a palm tree!

To Toxicocendron (CharlesF may also read),
These vines (Epipremnum pinnatum "Aureus") can be grown outdoors in my area as well as in much of central and southern Florida and the Keys (in zones 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b, 11 and below). They have large leaves when mature and can be really amazing as they climb to heights as high as 50 feet or more. They can also be grown in hanging baskets as a houseplant. They are easy to grow and must be watered 1 or 2 times a week when indoors or in a pot. In the wild outdoors in the tropics and it's native habitat in the Solomon Islands (in Indonesia in the Pacific Ocean) it can have stems up to a meter thick (maybe more) and leaves up to several feet across and can climb up to 50 feet or more.
I think you must be correct that this is Pothos not Oxycardium (you obviously know your plants better than I do). I will attempt to get it moved to the Pothos page (I am new to Dave's Garden, so we'll see how I do). Thanks for the feedback on the photos.
Growing huge plants in the yard is one of the advantages of living in Houston and although there aren't many other benefits at least the plants love it.
Thanks again for your comments on the plant and the photos!
Hi Charles,
Well, I have heard that everything in Texas is bigger, so I guess that goes for plants, too! Yours is really great; I would not have thought it would survive in TX, but I suppose Houston is pretty mild there on the coast.
Sorry I did not respond sooner, we had to go to an out of town funeral for the weekend.
Welcome to Dave's Garden...soon you will figure out all kinds of places to visit here (forums, garden watchdog, etc) and it is great fun. I love meeting gardeners around the world and learning about the many plants that can be grown in various climates. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and much can be learned.
Happy gardening,
Susan
