Scindapsus pictus, also known as the Satin Pothos, is a beautiful and low-maintenance houseplant. Discover the secrets to keeping it happy and healthy with this guide.
LightThese tropical plants prefer bright indirect light. They should not be placed in direct sunlight as it can cause the leaves to scorch.
SoilA well-draining potting mix is crucial. A blend that includes peat moss or coco coir for moisture retention and perlite for drainage works well.
Temperature and HumidityAs a tropical native, scindapsus appreciates a humid environment. Maintain comfortable room temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Avoid placing your scindapsus near drafty windows, heating vents, or air conditioners.
Watering Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a common culprit for scindapsus woes, potentially leading to root rot.
Fertilizing Feed your scindapsus every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce or cease feeding during fall and winter.
PruningDon’t hesitate to prune back any leggy vines to encourage bushier growth.
