Pothos 'Silver Splash'

Botanical Name: Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica'

Common Name(s): Large-Leaf Pothos Picta, Silver Pothos, Exotica

Description: Holding it under a light, the silver on the leaves appear to shimmer and take on a satin look. Scindapsus pictus is a slower growing vine that is a member of the Araceae family and native to Thailand and the Philippines. Not as common of a houseplant as Pothos, but this species features rounded-heart-shaped leaves that curve to one side at the tip. In time, it can easily grow to lengths of several feet long.

Care: For best color, keep in bright, indirect light but it will also do well in shady areas. It does well in normal household environments but will appreciate higher humidity. Use a well draining soil to prevent root rot and avoid overwatering.
