With its large, glossy heart-shaped leaves, this stunning low maintenance, evergreen climbing plant is sure to bring an exotic touch. This plant is loved by collectors for its large, heart shaped leaves that are splashed with dramatic silvery markings that stand out against the green, velvety leaves.This unique silver fleck like variegation on the foliage adds a sparkle and wow factor. 

☀️This plant requires bright indirect light, avoid any harsh light or positioning this plant too close to a window as scorching or leaf burn can occur.

💧Scindapsus like their soil to be kept evenly moist and it’s best not to let them completely dry out in between waterings as the leaves can start to droop. 

〰️These plants do require higher levels of humidity, leaf edges may dry and begin to brown if the ambient humidity is too low. You will generally start to see signs of this at the tips of the leaves. This isn't detrimental to the plant's health, but can look unsightly. You can increase humidity in your home by misting, grouping plants close together or sitting pot plants on a saucer filled with pebbles and water.

🌡️Like most popular houseplants, Scindapsus prefer temperatures in the 18°C-30°C which is similar to their tropical native habitat. 

🪜Scindapsus naturally want to climb so giving this plant some sort of climbing support will ensure it grows exceptionally well. A moss pole or simple stake will work a treat. Some people do prefer to grow these plant in a hanging basket and let the stems hang down. You will get mature leaves faster when letting the plant climb.

🍴It’s best to feed regularly during the warmer months and reduce frequency in winter. Alternatively, use a controlled release fertiliser at the beginning of spring and autumn.

✂️Remove dying or browning leaves and stems as required. Otherwise, there is no need to prune. These plants can be very easily grown by dividing mature clumps or from cuttings. Just snip below a node, place in water and wait a few weeks and it’s that easy. Fast to root, easy to transplant to soil. You can also propagate straight into oil, just remember to keep the soil slightly damp consistently until it produces roots. It’s also very easy to separate clumps by untangle the root ball and simply potting each clump separately. This plant is made for propagating given its growth rate!

🪴Scindapsus prefer a well-draining potting mix. Using a mix of orchid bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite works well. They are also very commonly grown hydroponically with great success.

(You will receive a bare rooted plant, similar to the ones seen in the images. Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour or shape.)
