With splatters of silver against a contrast of dark, earthy green, this trailing beauty glimmers softly in the sunlight—can you imagine eyeing that silvery sheen against the soft glow of sunshine streaming through your windows? Its Dark green leaves are adorned with silvery patches that are generously spread, creating a mosaic-like effect. This type of variegation is known as blister or reflective variegation. It occurs when air pockets form between the lower and upper layers of the leaf. Light reflects off these transparent air pockets, giving the leaves a sparkle!
Scindapsus can be displayed cascading from suspended planters, or elevated surfaces. Alternatively, they can trained to climb or shingled upon a vertical surface.
CARE:
- Place this plant in an area that receives consistent bright, indirect light. A few hours of morning sun is beneficial, but avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak summer months as the intense light and heat can scorch the leaves.
- Can tolerate periods of lower light environments but you may notice slowed growth, and leaves emerge smaller.
- Avoid keeping soggy soil as this can quickly lead to root rot. Water when the first 1/3-1/2 of the soil is dry. When in doubt, this plant can tolerate a little bit of drought.
- Appreciates high to moderate humidity but can be adaptable to household humidity
- Susceptible to cold damage so keep away from drafty windows.
- Avoid allowing water to pool on the velvety leaves.
- Prune to maintain a lusher appearance if it's getting leggy.
