Know before you buy
Yes, the plant you see in the listing is the exact specimen you will receive. We photograph each individual plant to ensure you know exactly what to expect when it arrives.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, its signature silvery variegation will be most vibrant and pronounced when kept in a bright spot away from direct, harsh sun.
No, the Scindapsus Pictus Exotica is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this vining plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
The key is to let the soil dry out significantly between waterings. A simple weekly check is usually sufficient, but always feel the top inch of soil before adding water to ensure it isn't still damp.
It is quite adaptable but prefers temperatures between 65-85°F. As a vining plant, it will appreciate a spot where its stems have room to trail or can be trained to climb a small trellis.
