What it is: This listing is Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight', which has dark green leaves with a silvery sheen on top (NC State Extension). Our photos show young plants with smooth, pointed, silvery-green leaves.

Light: Bright, indirect light suits it best; direct sun can scorch the leaves (NC State Extension). A grow bulb in a nearby lamp can help through dark winters.

Watering & care: Use a well-drained mix rich in organic matter. It doesn't tolerate overwatering: water when the mix is half dry to almost completely dry (NC State Extension). Overwatering can cause root rot (NC State Extension).

Humidity: If your indoor air gets very dry, especially in winter, raising the humidity can help. A room humidifier is the most effective way to raise humidity; a pebble tray gives only a small, local boost.

Temperature: It grows best at about 18–24 °C (65–75 °F) (NC State Extension).

Winter indoors: In winter, keep it away from cold windows, drafts and heating vents, and out of direct sun, which can scorch the leaves (NC State Extension). Keep checking the mix before watering rather than watering on a schedule.

Expected indoor size: Scindapsus treubii is slow-growing (NC State Extension). It can trail from a hanging basket, climb a small trellis or pole, or spread across a tabletop or mantel (NC State Extension). How large it gets depends on light, warmth, pot size and care, and young leaves can look different from older ones, so we can't promise a particular leaf size or shape.

Feeding: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer; our Schultz All Purpose Plant Food works at the label dilution.

Pets & pests: Scindapsus is toxic if eaten, so keep it out of reach of pets and children (NC State Extension). Scindapsus are more prone to pests than true pothos (Clemson HGIC); check now and then for mealybugs, spider mites and scale (NC State Extension).

About your plant: Every plant is a little different. Size, fullness and leaf count vary from plant to plant and change with age and light. The size option (4") refers to the pot diameter. It does not guarantee an exact plant height, trail length or leaf count. Photos show typical plants from our greenhouse, not the specific plant you will receive. The shared gallery image shows other Scindapsus as inspiration.
