Description
Scindapsus Silver Splash
 
Habit
Trailing or climbing aroid with long vines and aerial roots. Can be left to trail from a shelf or hanging basket, or trained upward on a moss pole or other support.
 
Growth Rate
Moderate to fast under warm, bright conditions.
 
Placement
Very versatile indoors. Works well on shelves, in hanging pots or trained vertically. Climbing plants generally develop larger, more mature leaves over time.
 
Leaf Size
Varies between varieties. Leaves usually remain smaller when trailing and increase in size when the plant is allowed to climb.
 
Light
Medium to bright indirect light is ideal. Variegated varieties benefit from brighter light to maintain strong colour and contrast.
 
Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry well before watering again. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
 
Soil
Rays Retail Nursery’s Chunky Premium Aroid Mix
 
Feeding
Moderate feeder during active growth. Regular feeding supports faster growth and larger leaves. Grab some Novion before checkout.
 
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally sufficient. Higher humidity can improve leaf quality but is not essential.
 
Sensitivities
Sensitive to overwatering and prolonged cold conditions. Variegated varieties may lose colour in insufficient light.
 
Pet Safe
No. Contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause irritation if chewed or ingested by pets.
 
Rays Says
"Vining Philodendrons are easy, forgiving and fast-growing. Let them trail if you like the softer hanging look, or give them a moss pole if you want bigger leaves and more mature growth."
