About This Botanical
The Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus), shipped in 4" and 6" nursery pots, is a graceful trailing tropical featuring heart-shaped, matte-green leaves dusted with shimmering silver flecks. Its compact growth habit is ideal for windowsills, mantels, and shelves.
How to Care for Satin Pothos: Place in medium to bright indirect light to preserve its silvery leaf patterns. Water only after the top 1–2 inches of soil have dried completely, as overwatering causes leaf yellowing. When repotting, use an airy potting mix enriched with perlite and orchid bark.
Identification: Satin Pothos is Scindapsus pictus, not Epipremnum, distinguished by its velvety matte texture and delicate silver speckling.
Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs due to calcium oxalate content.
