Scindapsus pictus

Scindapsus Plant, Exotica

$18.00 USD

The satin pothos (Scindapsus pictus) is a vine plant that has dark green leaves with silvery markings. Also called the satin silver pothos, this slow-growing trailing houseplant is very easy to care for. The eye-catching tropical plant looks stunning, growing in hanging baskets or climbing up a moss pole.

Caring for your Scindapsus pictus

Bright Indirect

Water Regularly

NOT Pet Safe

Moderate

Details
  • The plant prefers medium to bright indirect light, but can tolerate low indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. If the plant doesn't get enough light, the silver flecks on the leaves may start to fade and turn greener. 
  • Water the plant when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, but don't let it completely dry out. You may need to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Overwatering is the plant's number one killer, so signs of overwatering, like pale yellow leaves, should be watched for.
  • Toxic if ingested.

Although it is commonly referred to as satin pothos, silver pothos, and even silver Philodendron — this tropical plant is not a pothos or a Philodendron. Instead, it is a part of the Scindapsus genus, which is distinct from the Epipremnum (pothos) and Philodendron genera.
