About this plant

Scindapsus Pictus Exotica

SUUUPER easy to take care of.

Great hanging plant and climber. 

Requires medium to bright indirect sunlight as long as it is not exposed to direct sun.

Works brilliant close to windows. A North or South facing window is recommended. 

Water once a week tops. Check to see that at least the top 2cm of the soil is properly dry before attempting to water. 

This beauty will do well in high or low humidly. Higher humidity will encourage the leaves to grow larger.

Big silver splashes on velvet leaves

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' · also known as Satin pothos Exotica, silver philodendron

Native to Southeast Asia (species)

A showier form of the satin pothos, with larger leaves and big, shimmering silver patches. It makes a great hanging plant or climber.

  • A Scindapsus Exotica in a 12cm grow pot, with larger silver markings than the standard pictus.
  • Velvety, heart-shaped leaves with bold silver patches, great hanging or climbing.
  • Very easy: indirect light and water once the top 2cm of soil is dry.

Where it thrives

The best spot in your home

Medium to bright indirect light, near a north-facing window behind a sheer curtain or a bright south-facing one. Let it hang from a shelf or climb a pole.
