Description
Scindapsus Pictus
 
Habit
Trailing or climbing aroid with firm, textured leaves and long vines. Can be left to trail from a shelf or hanging basket, or trained upward on a moss pole or other support.
 
Growth Rate
Moderate under warm, bright conditions.
 
Placement
Best suited to shelves, hanging pots or climbing displays. It works especially well where the silver foliage can be appreciated up close.
 
Leaf Size
Usually small to medium while trailing. Leaves can become noticeably larger when the plant is allowed to climb.
 
Light
Bright indirect light is ideal. Good light helps maintain strong silver patterning and compact growth.
 
Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry well before watering again. Scindapsus are sensitive to staying wet for too long.
 
Soil
Rays Retail Nursery’s Chunky Premium Aroid Mix
 
Feeding
Light to moderate feeder during active growth. Regular feeding supports healthy growth and larger leaves. Grab some Novion before checkout.
 
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally sufficient. Higher humidity can improve growth and leaf quality but is not essential.
 
Sensitivities
Sensitive to overwatering and prolonged wet soil. Growth may slow considerably if light levels are too low.
 
Pet Safe
No. Contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause irritation if chewed or ingested by pets.
 
Rays Says
"Scindapsus Pictus is easy once you get the watering right. Give it good light, let it dry properly between waterings and don’t keep it wet. Let it trail for
