Scindapsus Silver Satin

The Scindapsus pictus, commonly known as the Satin Pothos or Silver Satin, is a stunning trailing houseplant prized for its velvety, heart-shaped leaves splashed with shimmering silver variegation. This 4-inch specimen is a versatile addition to any indoor jungle, perfect for hanging baskets or cascading off a shelf.

Quick Care

Placement: Ideal for shelves, mantels, or hanging planters where it can trail.

Light: Bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but may lose its silver variegation.

Water: Allow the top 50-75% of soil to dry out before watering. Leaves will curl slightly when thirsty.

Soil: Well-draining potting mix with perlite or orchid bark.

Temp: 65°F to 85°F.

Humidity: Prefers higher humidity but adapts well to average household levels.

Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season.

About This Plant

Scindapsus Silver Satin is often confused with Epipremnum (Pothos) due to its similar growth habit, but it belongs to a distinct genus. Its thick, matte leaves provide a unique texture compared to the glossy foliage of other common houseplants.
