 The Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus) is a vine plant that has dark green leaves with silvery markings. Also called the "Satin Silver Pothos", this slow-growing trailing houseplant is very easy to care for. The eye-catching tropical plant looks stunning, growing in hanging baskets or climbing up a moss pole.

Light: It does need plenty of bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. The best location for this plant is in near an east- or west-facing window where it gets some morning or evening sun. Avoid placing it in the sun’s direct rays to avoid scorching them.

Water: Water as often as the top part of the soil dries out. In summer, it may need watering as often as twice a week or more. In winter, the silver leaf pothos requires less frequent watering. The goal of watering is to make sure that the roots are always slightly moist.

Humidity:  It requires medium to high humidity to grow well. Aim for humidity levels of at least 40% for the fastest growth. The ways to get humidity levels right for this plant is to mist the leaves daily, place on a pebble tray, or use a room humidifier.

Temperature:  Range of 65°F to 85°F (18°C – 29°C). Constant average room temperature is similar to their native tropical environment. To grow well, protect the plants from sudden changes in temperature.

Fertilizer: It isn’t a fast grower and doesn’t need a lot of fertilizing. Feed your plant once a month during the growing season with a diluted houseplant fertilizer. Stop feeding during the winter months and then resume in spring when growth becomes vigorous.

Soil:  Needs to grow in a rich, well-draining potting mix. The best type of potting medium should have organic matter to hold moisture but be light enough so that water drains freely. The plant’s growth will slow down if it grows in soggy, waterlogged soil.

Toxicity: Toxic to pets & humans
