Scindapsus pictus ‘Argyraeus’ – 12cm

Scindapsus pictus ‘Argyraeus’, commonly known as Satin Pothos, produces heart-shaped leaves with a matte, velvety texture speckled and edged in metallic silver markings. The silver patterning catches the light beautifully, giving the foliage a shimmering quality as it trails down. Despite the common name, it is not a true Pothos (Epipremnum) but a closely related genus. It is a steady grower, drought-tolerant, and handles lower light better than many variegated plants.

Origins
Native to Southeast Asia, Scindapsus pictus grows in tropical forests, climbing from the forest floor into the canopy using aerial roots. ‘Argyraeus’ is a cultivar selected for its prominent silver spotting.
