Pothos 'Satin' / Scindapsus pictus

Pothos Satin, also known as Scindapsus pictus, is one of the most quietly stunning plants you can add to your collection. Its heart-shaped leaves are a deep, rich green splashed with silvery-gray markings that shimmer under light, giving them a satin-like sheen. It grows in a trailing, compact habit that looks incredible in hanging baskets, on high shelves, or trained up a small trellis.

Good for beginners? Yes. Satin Pothos is low-maintenance, adaptable, and forgiving. It is one of the easiest trailing plants to care for and looks far more exotic than its care requirements suggest.

Safe for cats and dogs? Scindapsus pictus is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Bright indirect light brings out the most vivid silver variegation. It tolerates medium light but the shimmer on the leaves becomes less pronounced. Avoid low light and direct sun.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Enjoys humidity — mist occasionally or place near a humidifier. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Wipe leaves to keep the silver markings gleaming.
