  • Botanical Name: Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica'
  • Common Name(s): Large-Leaf Pothos Picta, Silver Pothos
  • Description: This plant is very similar to Scindapsus pictus var. 'Argyreus' but where Argyreus has more defined spots and edge markings, this plant has a wider area of silver splashing across the leaf that is less defined. Holding it under a light, the silver on some leaves appear to shimmer and take on a satin look. Scindapsus pictus is a slower growing vine that is a member of the Araceae family and native to Thailand and the Philippines. Not as common of a houseplant as Pothos, but it does well in normal household environments but will appreciate higher humidity. This species features rounded-heart-shaped leaves that curve to one side at the tip. In time, it can easily grow to lengths of several feet long. For best color, keep in bright, indirect light but it will also do well in shady areas.
Watering: Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. A tell-tale sign that it needs water is when the leaves begin to curl inward.
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix. A good combination includes potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark.
Humidity & Temp: Prefers higher humidity (above 50%), but adapts well to average household levels. Keep in temperatures between 65°F - 85°F (18°C - 29°C)
.Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season (spring and summer).
Maintenance: Generally slow-growing, it can be kept bushy by pruning or allowed to trail/climb.
