Scindapsus pictus is a slow growing, tropical plant native to
Southeast Asia and is commonly known as Satin Pothos or Silk
Pothos, despite being an unrelated species. Scindapsus pictus is
part of the Araceae family and is a vining plant that will slowly climb
up trellises or trail as a hanging basket.Typically cultivated in its
juvenile phase, Scindapsus has oval leaves with heart-shaped bases
that grow into pinnately lobed leaves once mature.
Its velvet-textured, mae-green leaves are decorated with silver
spots in unique paerns.
Scindapsus are popular as they grow well in almost any area provided
it has a source of indirect light. Although it can grow well under
articial lighting, indirect sunlight works best to maintain the
variegated leaves which can fade in low light. Water only when the
top inch feels dry to maintain the soil moist but make sure it’s not
saturated in water. Relatively easy to care for, Scindapsus are good
for budding plant enthusiasts looking to add a unique plant to
their collection.
A tropical, trailing plant with uniquely paerned leaves that grows well
in a variety of indoor areas.
