Exposure & location

The Scindapsus Pictus Trebie appreciates partial shade with bright indirect light. It tolerates low light but prefers a bright exposure to maintain its sparkling silver spots.

• Exposure: Partial shade, bright indirect light, tolerates low light.
• Ideal: shelf, hanging, office, bathroom, bedroom, or as a climbing plant on a stake.
• Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, without sudden changes.
• Substrate: light, airy, and well-draining, tropical plant soil with perlite.

Verdeia tip: the Scindapsus is perfect hanging or on a shelf to let its vines trail elegantly, or on a stake to climb.

Watering & care

• Watering: moderate; let the top 2-3 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
• Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduce in winter.
• Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
• Humidity: enjoys 50-70% humidity, mist occasionally or dust the leaves.
• Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
• Pruning: prune overly long vines in spring to encourage branching.

The Scindapsus prefers a slightly moist substrate but never waterlogged — avoid excess water that causes leaves to yellow.

Decor ideas & plant combinations

With its velvety silver-spotted foliage and climbing or trailing habit, the Scindapsus Pictus Trebie adds a touch of sophistication and freshness to your urban jungle. It creates a bright and elegant focal point.

• To pair with: Pothos, Philodendron scandens, Monstera, Hoya, or other climbing plants to create a lush urban jungle.
• Ideal pot: macramé hanging, decorative pot in matte ceramic (white, gray, black, terracotta) or woven basket to highlight the silver foliage.

The silver spots shimmer beautifully in the light and create a spectacular luminous effect that brightens dark spaces.

Verdeia Tips

• Offer it soft light: too much direct sun burns its velvety foliage and dulls the silver spots.
• Gently wipe its leaves: dust dulls its shimmering silver reflections.
• Let it climb or trail: on a stake it climbs elegantly, hanging it trails gracefully.
• Prune in spring: to encourage branching and achieve a denser plant.
• Enjoy its ease: ultra easy to care for, perfect for beginners and forgetful people.
