Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeu, also known as Satin Pothos, is part of the Aracae family and falls under Scindapsus genus together with other two varieties: Silvery Anne and Exotica. Despite many common names it is not a Pothos nor a Philodendron however it is also a very hardy plant. One of the most sought after characteristics of Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeu is it’s foliage- matte green with silver splashes. Although the leaves look similar on all three varieties of Scindapsus, they do have a differentiating factor- Argyraeu’s leaves are smaller than its sister plants with much less of the silver markings.

Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeu is a species of plant native to warm and humid regions of Sumatra, Sulawesi, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and Java where it grows as an epiphyte. Satin Pothos prefers a well draining potting mix and something to climb on. It can be also grown as a hanging plant. Consider attaching it to our Brass Plant Support or letting it grow over Golden Plant Stake. This plant is a great air-purifier!

Light

Scindapsus thrive best in medium to bright indirect light, but will tolerate much lower light conditions. However, be aware that loo little light might cause the leaves to lose their beautiful variegation. Do not expose your Scindapsus to direct light, which might scorch its leaves.

Water

Water thoroughly when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. Scindapsus can tolerate underwatering, but are much less tolerant of overwatering, so make sure not to water it too much or it will wilt easily. Always remove excess water from the saucer to avoid the plant sitting in water. If the leaves of your Scindapsus start curling on both sides, you have underwatered your plant.

Humidity

Scindapsus are tropical plants, so they will appreciate high humidity and reward you with more growth. However, they make for such great houseplants because they do not require it to thrive. Moderate humidity of 40-50% is just fine for most Scindapsus.

Temperature

Scindapsus, being tropical plants, prefer temperatures of no lower than 18 and no higher than 28 degrees Celsius. Ideally, they should be grown in usual household temperatures.

Soil

Scindapsus love growing in a very well-draining, loose substrate, such as our Aroid Potting Mix, which was developed specifically for plants in the Aroid family. If you prefer mixing soil yourself, we recommend a mix of 1/3 bark, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coco coir.

Fertiliser

During the growing season, feed your Scindapsus regularly with a liquid fertiliser suitable for houseplants. Do not fertilise your plant during the colder months unless you supplement with grow lights.

Toxicity

Scindapsus are toxic to pets and humans when ingested.
