Scindapsus pictus ‘Exotica’ is a trailing or climbing tropical plant with large, velvety green leaves heavily splashed with silvery variegation. While it’s often grown as a trailing houseplant in hanging baskets, it can also climb if given a moss pole, trellis, or other support. It uses aerial roots to attach itself and will develop larger leaves when allowed to climb.
NOTE: This listing is for a rooted starter plant of this variety that will be shipped bare root or in a 2.5x4 inch greenhouse pot. Each living plant is unique and may vary in size, color, or shape depending on the season. We will not be responsible for how this plant thrives if you ignore our hardiness zone recommendations.
Planting Instructions & Ideal Growing Conditions:
• Hardiness Zones: Best suited for USDA Zones 10-12. It is typically grown indoors as a houseplant in colder zones and should be brought inside during the winter.
• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light, but can adapt to low light. However, bright light will enhance the silver variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Soil: Well-draining, light, and slightly acidic soil is ideal. Use a standard houseplant potting mix with perlite or sand added for better drainage.
• Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Let the soil dry out between waterings, but don’t let it dry out completely for long periods.
• Temperature: Prefers a range of 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 29°C). Avoid temperatures lower than 50°F (10°C), as cold drafts or frost can damage the plant.
• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity but will adapt to average indoor humidity. To increase humidity, consider occasional misting or using a humidity tray.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when growth slows.
• Growth Habit: The Silver Exotica Pothos has a vining growth habit and can grow long trails up to 10 feet or more if allowed. It’s great for hanging baskets, shelves, or climbing a support like a trellis.
• Pests: Keep an eye out for mealybugs, spider mites, and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if pests are present.
• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years when the plant becomes root-bound or outgrows its pot.
• Care Tips: This pothos is low-maintenance and easy to grow. Trim back any long or leggy vines to encourage bushier growth. It can also improve indoor air quality by filtering out toxins.
