Why Choose Fast Growing Indoor Climbing Plants?

Fast growing indoor climbers are a favourite among NZ houseplant enthusiasts for good reason. They cover space in no time, are often easy to care for, and many tolerate a variety of indoor conditions. Their trailing vines and decorative foliage make them ideal for hanging baskets, shelving, or training up totems and trellises. By opting for fast growers, you’ll quickly enjoy dramatic visual impact and better air quality within your home.

Top Picks for Fast Growing Indoor Climbing Plants

Not all indoor vines are created equal when it comes to speed and growth habit. Here are some top performers worth adding to your collection:

Epipremnum Golden Queen

A hardy and versatile climber, Epipremnum Golden Queen is known for its rapid growth and striking golden-yellow variegated leaves. It thrives in a range of light conditions and works beautifully as a cascading trailing plant or trained onto a totem for an upright effect.

Philodendron scandens

Classic heart-shaped leaves and speedy growth make Philodendron scandens a reliable go-to for fast growing indoor climbing plants. It adapts well to low light and with a little support, creates a lush, trailing or climbing feature in any room.

Rhaphidophora decursiva

For a more exotic look, Rhaphidophora decursiva boasts attractively divided, glossy leaves and is a vigorous climber that adapts easily indoors. With the right support, its long vines add vertical interest and jungle vibes to living spaces.

Monstera adansonii

Loved for its unique, hole-punched leaves, Monstera adansonii is also a champion grower. This fast growing indoor climbing plant provides instant texture and dimension while being relatively forgiving for beginners.

Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash'

If you want something different from the usual suspects, Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash' is a rewarding selection. Though known for its waxy, variegated foliage and fragrant flowers, it’s also appreciated for its rapid climbing or trailing habit under the right conditions.
