Scindapsus ‘Treubii’ Dark Form is a rare and beautiful looking vining species of scindapsus with large nearly black leaves. It is a highly decorative, low maintenance houseplant, which is also suitable for beginners!

Scindapsus Treubii Dark Form is a great plant to grow in hanging basket. Yet, if you want your plant to really achieve its full potential and grow large leaves, try letting it climb something like our brass plant support instead. The key here is providing the plant with a climbing surface made from organic matter. This allows the plant to grow its roots into the pole – and only then can the leaves can reach a truly impressive size!

Scindapsus Treubii Dark Form is an easy-to-grow plant that can adapt to very different conditions! In nature, it grows as an epiphyte in warm and humid regions of South East Asia. However at home, it will also thrive in normal household humidity and can tolerate lower light environments. Use well-draining soil such as our Aroid potting mix. Only water it only when the top 3cm of the soil feel dry to the touch. This plant is very good at communicating its needs, so its leaves will start to curl when it’s really thirsty!

An example picture gives a trustworthy image of the plant with good care. The plant at the example picture is not the plant that will be delivered. This is an example, so variations are possible. The eventually delivered plant may differ in for example size, number of flower branches, etc.

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.
