Exposure & Location

Scindapsus is a very tolerant plant that adapts to different light conditions, making it ideal for all interiors. It particularly enjoys bright indirect light but perfectly tolerates partial shade.

• Exposure: bright indirect to partial shade light, avoid harsh direct sun.
• Ideal: living room, office, bright bathroom, high shelf, or hanging near an east or west-facing window.
• Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, without sudden changes.
• Substrate: light, airy, and well-drained (green plant potting soil + perlite).

Verdeia tip: Scindapsus tolerates less bright areas, but growth will be faster and foliage denser with bright indirect light.

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 a saucer.
• Humidity: prefers 50-60% humidity, tolerates dry air.
• Fertilizer: every 2-3 weeks in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer.
• Winter rest: reduce watering and fertilizing in autumn-winter.
• Support: stake on a moss pole to encourage climbing growth and large leaves, or let it trail down in a cascade.

Gently clean the leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their shine and optimize photosynthesis.

Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations

With its lush foliage and generous trailing stems, Scindapsus instantly becomes a spectacular centerpiece that creates immediate visual impact in any space.

• Pair with: Monstera, Philodendron, other Pothos (Golden, Marble Queen), Ferns or Calathea to create a lush and varied urban jungle.
• Ideal pot: decorative pot in matte ceramic (white, terracotta, gray) or macramé hanger to highlight the trailing foliage.
• Ambiance: perfect hanging near a window, on a high shelf, staked on a moss pole, or featured in a living room corner to create a green wall.

Stake it on a moss pole to encourage spectacular large leaves, or let it trail down in a cascade for a soft and airy effect.

Verdeia Tips
