Silk Pothos (Satin Pothos, Scindapsus Pictus)

Scindapsus Pictus, commonly known as satin pothos or silk pothos, is a tropical evergreen climber native to Southeast Asia. It is known for its heart-shaped, leathery leaves that are green with irregular silvery-gray blotches or spots, giving it a "painted" appearance.


Lighting:

  • Bright Light

  • Indirect Light


Environment:

  • Do not place plant directly in the path of blowing air-con units.

  • Satin-like foliage, low-maintenance care, and air-purifying qualities that help remove toxins.

Watering:

  • Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.



Tips:

  • The leaves will show signs of thirst by curling inward.

  • The plant can survive in lower light, but its growth will be slower.

  • Yellow leaves can signal over-watering or too much direct sunlight, while brown leaves can indicate low humidity or excessive direct sun.
