Scindapsus pictus 'Argyraeus'
satin pothos
Relatively large, heart-shaped leaves, which are splashed with sheens of silvery grey, characterise this tropical houseplant. ‘Satin Pothos’ is easy to grow, and if kept in a bright spot with indirect light, it will reward you with the best leaf colour and variegation. Its compact growth habit makes ‘Argyraeus’ a beautiful hanging basket plant, specimen for a large terrarium, or trailing pothos for a bookshelf.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Scindapsus pictus Argyraeus:
Keep in bright, indirect light away from cold draughts, letting the compost dry out slightly between waterings in spring and summer and keeping it on the drier side in winter. Give it higher humidity by misting or grouping with other plants, and an occasional lukewarm shower helps clean the leaves.
Pinch out tips to keep it bushy, train the stems on a support if you like, and keep winter temperatures above 10°C (50°F). Repot every couple of years into a free-draining indoor mix to keep it growing well.
