This humidity-loving houseplant needs bright, indirect light to maintain well-defined markings and good coloration. This plant can be grown without soil, in water only, as long as the water is not highly chlorinated. But if it is growing in a container filled with good potting mix, let its top layer of soil dry out between waterings. Feed regularly with liquid fertilizer. Keep away from pets, as it is not safe for them to sample this plant. Trim the vines to encourage fuller growth if they begin to get too long.

This much-desired Satin Pothos is not really a Pothos at all. But both this special Scindapsus and the more familiar Pothos are close cousins, and they are very similar in their low-maintenance nature. Satin Pothos has dark green leaves trimmed with the thinnest line of silvery gray. Silver-toned splotches cover the leaf-tops and almost sparkle when the light hits them. With aerial roots which can hold tight to a number of surfaces, this plant not only trails beautifully but also can be trained to climb up an indoor plant hanger or shelf.
