Scindapsus pictus 'Argyraeus'

Often mistaken for an epipremnum, or pothos, scindapsus plants have subtle differences that make them just as worthy and rewarding as their more common look-alikes. Scindapsus, aka Satin pothos, has heart-shaped, matte-green leaves with random silver markings. These will trail on stems anywhere from four to ten feet long, or, given support, will climb upwards. Indirect light is best to maintain the variegation on the foliage and deep but infrequent watering will keep this satin pothos healthy. As is true of pothos plants, scindapsus plants are also toxic to pets, so consider growing this satin pothos up supports or in hanging basket with all parts out of chewing pets' reach.
