How to care for Scindapsus Platinum Java
- Light: moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which yellows the leaves. Low light slowly dulls the silver variegation.
- Water: water when the soil is dry. Overwatering is the bigger risk, so it is better kept slightly dry than wet.
- Soil and pot: a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring into a slightly larger container.
- Temperature and humidity: 60 to 80°F. It tolerates average home humidity.
- Feeding: feed lightly during spring and summer growth.
