Plants - air cleaners in the apartment
One of the most unpretentious members of the family Aroid - Golden Epipremnum (Epipremnum aureum), or scindapsus, equally well fits both in the classical, 
and in a modern interior.

The leaves of scindapsus are able to process formaldehydes (they are emitted by many modern finishing materials and particleboard), toxic compounds of nitrogen, sulfur, if your windows face a busy road or there is a smoker at home, this plant will also be very useful.
OUR REFERENCE
In most residential premises, air humidity is very low, which negatively affects the health of indoor plants. It is better not to forget about bathing and spraying cissuses, scinduspus and asparagus - firstly, the dust does not decorate them, and secondly, the tips of the leaves can dry out in these too dry rooms.
Wax Ivy

This plant has an interesting feature - on one peduncle it can bloom several 
times - faded flowers fall, and in their place new buds grow.

Diet and transplant

Asparagus, cissus and scindapsus need an annual spring transplant in a slightly larger pot. Hoya cariosa is an exception in this company - she loves tight pots. In them, wax ivy blooms much more readily and develops better.
OUR COUNCIL
you can let it curl around the support (it is advisable to use sufficiently strong structures that will not bend under the weight of the plant - for example, bamboo, wooden or metal ladders and trellises) or place in a hanging planter.

For some reason, many consider the cissus rhomboid (birch, room grape) to be a boring “grandmother's” flower. Nevertheless, a vine with graceful, long, climbing shoots can often be found in apartments, conservatories, libraries, schools, offices.
Secrets of care
A handsome man loves bright diffused light, grows well in partial shade. For spring and summer, I put it on a cabinet or on a high stand. In winter, I move closer to the window - at the window sill level it is not hot and light.
Transplanted annually in the spring in a stable pot or hanging cache-pot. I buy soil or make up of turf, sheet land, peat and sand (1: 1: 1: 1). I put drainage at the bottom of the pot.
Watering all year round moderately after drying of the topsoil.
Propagated by cuttings, which easily form roots both in water and in vermiculite.
