Silver Satin Pothos

Silver Satin Pothos — Rare Aroid Vine

About the Plant
The Silver Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus) is a stunning trailing vine known for its velvety, deep green leaves adorned with shimmering silver variegation. Each leaf looks almost hand-painted, with splashes or patches of silver that catch the light and give the plant a satin sheen. This tropical beauty is prized as both a low-maintenance houseplant and a decorative statement piece. Its cascading vines make it perfect for hanging baskets, bookshelves, or climbing up a moss pole.

Growth Habit

Type: Evergreen tropical vine.

Mature Size: Indoors, vines can reach 6–10 feet; leaves may grow larger if allowed to climb.

Foliage: Heart-shaped leaves with velvety texture and irregular silver spotting or splashing.

Growth Rate: Moderate; slower than Golden Pothos but steady under good conditions.

Care & Cultivation

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its silver markings. Tolerates medium light but may lose variegation if too dim.

Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. More sensitive to overwatering than standard pothos varieties.

Soil: A well-draining aroid mix with added perlite or orchid bark works best.

Temperature & Humidity: Thrives at 65–85°F. Benefits from moderate to high humidity but adapts to average household air.

Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Support: Train on a pole for larger leaves or allow to trail naturally.

Pruning & Propagation: Trim vines to maintain fullness. Stem cuttings root easily in water or soil.
