Description

Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus), just like its botanical cousin pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is one of the easiest houseplants to grow. Both are members of the Arum family. They are evergreen tropical vines that are not cold-tolerant. That’s why pothos is usually grown indoors. This unique looking tropical plant is fairly new to the house plant game, and is garnering a lot of attention. Big, heart-shaped leaves are dark-green with splashes of a light greenish silvery gray color. 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.

Please note: Toxic to humans, cats and dogs if ingested

Care Guide

Satin Pothos is just as easy to grow as its relative, golden pothos. It is a low maintenance house plant. Keep it warm and take care not to overwater this house plant. Cold drafts and soggy soil are two things it won't tolerate. 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 your plant collection. Your plant will benefit from occasional pruning, which helps it to branch out and become fuller. Spring is the best time to cut it back. Use sharp pruners to avoid tearing the stems. If your satin pothos accumulates dust, you can wash the leaves with water. Don’t use oil to make them shine, as it can clog the cells and affect the leaves’ ability to breathe.
