Description
This striking tropical plant is fairly new to house plant nurseries, and is garnering a lot of attention. Big, heart-shaped leaves are dark-green and splashed with silvery gray, giving them a satin sheen. Its compact growth habit makes Scindapsus pictus ‘Argyraeus’ a beautiful hanging basket plant. You’ll see the best leaf color and variegation by keeping it in bright, indirect light. You’ll also keep the plant healthy by boosting the humidity around it. In fact, its variegated foliage makes Satin Pothos a beautiful addition to a terrarium. Satin pothos is a vine that will latch onto its surroundings—that can be a pole, a trellis, other plants, a wall, or a piece of furniture. The way the vine attaches to surfaces is through its aerial roots. Sometimes it does this on its own, sometimes it needs a little help, such as with invisible mini hooks. Instead of letting it trail, you can also grow satin pothos in a hanging planter allowing its foliage to cascade down.
Plant Care
- Satin pothos (Scindapsus pictus) needs bright light but it must be indirect.
- When watering satin pothos, the key is to avoid overwatering, which will manifest itself by yellow leaves and the vine wilting.
- Use a commercial indoor potting mix, which already contains nutrients and ensures good drainage.
- 15 – 30°C
- During the growing season, fertilize the satin pothos about once a month with a complete, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer.
