Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, variegation will become less pronounced in low light.
  • Ideal Room: Suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices with indirect light. This variety is perfect for hanging baskets or shelves where it can trail freely.
  • Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and vibrant variegation.
  • Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Mist regularly or place on a humidity tray to maintain moisture levels and help maintain variegation.
  • Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C) as this can harm the plant.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be sure to allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as Scindapsus is prone to root rot if overwatered.
  • Pet/Child Safe: Toxic to pets and children if ingested. Keep out of reach to prevent accidental poisoning.
  • Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants, or a mix containing peat, perlite, and orchid bark for good aeration and drainage.
  • Propagation: Propagate by stem cuttings. Place the cuttings in water or moist soil until roots develop.
  • Eventual Height and Spread: Can grow up to 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters) long if allowed to climb or trail.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate growth rate, particularly during the warmer months when given adequate light and care.
  • Pests and Treatment: Watch for pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot with drainage holes to ensure good water flow and prevent waterlogging.
  • Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s appearance. Pruning can also encourage denser growth and fuller foliage.
  • Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying qualities, Scindapsus 'Silver Cloud' helps to remove harmful toxins like formaldehyde from the air.
  • Folklore: Scindapsus plants are often thought to bring positive energy, good luck, and prosperity to the home, making them a popular choice for indoor plant decor.
